As of this notice, 29 presumptive positive cases of COVID-19 (coronavirus) have been reported in New Jersey. This number is expected to rise, and state agencies and other employers of AFSCME-represented workers are taking as many precautions as possible.
Many employers have adjusted their operating hours and, in some cases, closed their facilities temporarily. All of this has resulted in an influx of calls to AFSCME New Jersey Council 63 staff with questions and concerns about how to handle this ever-evolving situation.
