COVID-19 Update and Vaccination FAQ
We provide a new update on the number of COVID-19 cases in New Jersey, Mercer County and Ewing Township and urge all residents to use extreme caution this holiday season.
The safest way to celebrate winter is with your household members. If you gather with others, choose outdoor or well-ventilated spaces. Please stay at least 6 feet apart and wash your hands often.
