Wayne MVC agency closed until next month
Updated Jan 22, 2021;
After a week with few agency closures, the state Motor Vehicle Commission’s Wayne licensing center closed until next month due to an employee testing positive for the coronavirus.
The employee who tested positive was last in the Wayne Center on Thursday, and it is scheduled to reopen Friday, Feb. 5, MVC officials said.
Vehicle inspections and Road Test Operations at Wayne remain open, because they are in separate buildings from the Licensing Center.
The number of agencies open will improve slightly as the Medford Vehicle Center and Salem Licensing Center will reopen, Saturday. Both were closed for quarantine and full COVID-19 cleaning, officials said.

The closures affect the vehicle centers in Newton and Medford and the Salem Licensing Center.
There is some good news: MVC officials expect the Manahawkin Vehicle Center, Toms River Licensing Center, and Edison Licensing Center to reopen Tuesday after being closed for sanitizing, quarantining and contact tracing.
The Newton Vehicle Center will be closed until Jan. 20 after an employee who tested positive was last there on Jan. 5.
Both Medford Vehicle Center and Salem Licensing Center will be closed until Saturday, Jan. 23. Individual employees who tested positive at each of these locations were in the buildings last on Jan. 8, officials said.
9 MVC agencies closed to COVID statewide despite 3 reopening
Updated Jan 12, 2021;
The state Motor Vehicle Commission started Tuesday on a high note, when three agencies reopened, but those gains were cut by one when the North Bergen agency closed after an employee there tested positive for the coronavirus.
North Bergen Licensing Center closed just after noon when an employee who was last in the agency on Jan. 9 tested positive for COVID-19, said William Connolly, an MVC spokesman. North Bergen is scheduled to reopen on Jan. 25, he said.
That happened after the MVC had 11 closed agencies on Monday out of 39 in the state. On Tuesday morning, the Manahawkin Vehicle Center, Toms River Licensing Center, and Edison Licensing Center reopened as scheduled.
