“It’s hard to believe that we have been mired in this health emergency for a year now, yet here we are,” said Bayonne Mayor James Davis.
On Feb. 7, Davis reflected on the COVID-19 pandemic exactly one year to the day since the Royal Caribbean Anthem of the Seas docked in the cruise port with possibly sick passengers. If the passengers had tested positive, they would have been the first coronavirus cases in the state.
