Good morning, Cozy Families,
With the increase in COVID cases in NJ, many of you have questions related to being a "contact of a contact" and what that means....
The following is a chart I created based on the NJ DOH guidelines to help clarify.
As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to me at (973) 697-4777 ext. 5535 or email me at jluisi@jefftwp.org.
