147 sickened as search continues for cause of foodborne illness tied to N.J. restaurant
Updated 1:31 PM;
Health officials in Camden County say 147 people have reported becoming sick after ordering food from a Berlin Township restaurant.
The cause of the illness remains under investigation and the restaurant was temporarily closed to allow for enhanced cleaning and a follow-up inspection, officials said. It has since reopened.
Trouble first came to light last week when Waterford Township schools shifted to all remote learning after 97 teachers got sick from a “foodborne illness” the district said they contracted at a catered district lunch.
The food was provided by Roma Pizza and Stellato Ristorante, according to a Facebook post by the business owners.

News that New Jersey was going to follow the federal government’s recommendation and pause use of Johnson & Johnson’s vaccine came as health officials had begun to ramp up efforts to inoculate the state’s more than 11,000 homebound people.
Until Tuesday, state and county health officials had relied heavily on the single-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine to reach people like Camden resident Deloris Barham, who, with help from her nurse, walked across the street from her home at the Baldwin’s Run Senior community complex on Friday to get her shot despite her dislike of needles.
Philadelphia-Area Clinics Temporarily Close, Pivot After FDA, CDC Recommend Pausing Use Of Johnson & Johnson’s COVID-19 Vaccine

Vaccination sites across the city had to quickly pivot from the one-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine to Moderna or Pfizer vaccines this morning. And as a result, some locations that only offered the J&J vaccine had to temporarily shut down.
The FEMA Esperanza clinic in Hunting Park, a site where the Johnson & Johnson vaccine is usually distributed, is now closed after the CDC and FDA recommended a delay on distribution.
In North Philly, the Black Doctors COVID-19 Consortium immediately pulled the Johnson & Johnson vaccine as well. But their site at Deliverance Evangelistic Church was in full swing. Luckily for folks in line waiting for the “one and done” the Moderna shot is a viable alternative.
