Attention NJCU Community:

With the rise in COVID-19 cases in our state and nationally, the purpose of this communication is to provide a weekly update on cases within our community and pertinent information to our campus — while also distributing important updates from the city, county and state. 

As of November 20, 2020, there have been 31 total positive cases within the NJCU community since September 1. Documentation of reported cases are update regularly and can be found on NJCU’s COVID-19 website dashboard.

NJCU has partnered with Diligent Urgent Care to provide COVID screenings, testing, and education for our NJCU campus. To schedule your Telemed visit: CLICK HERE.

Should you have any questions or need assistance, please email telemedicine@diligenturgentcare.org or call 201-834-8887.

Please visit our NJCU COVID website for more information, including answers to FAQ’s (frequently asked questions).

Beginning December 2, NJCU will deploy a targeted testing approach called Surveillance Testing for employees and students working and learning on campus, which will help detect asymptomatic occurrences of infection and prevent further transmission by enabling contact tracing. Testing will be randomized.

Successfully dealing with the pandemic requires the shared responsibility of each and every one of us. For more information, please visit the NJCU COVID-19 responsibility statement.

Please use the COVID Concern Report to alert the COVID response team of a possible infection or any concerns regarding the utilization of our established safety protocols.

While finding joy during the holiday season, please remember the need to remain vigilant, adhere to the recommended CDC safety guidelines and take mask-wearing seriously, remain attentive to frequent handwashing, and ensure physical distancing.
