New Jersey mobilized the National Guard as state officials prepared to expand the number of available hospital beds. The state is in talks to re-open one shuttered hospital and restore the use of closed wings in four other facilities.

Futures tied to the Dow Jones Industrial Average wavered between gains and losses March 17, giving up much of the advance made earlier amid fears of a coronavirus-induced recession.

Students and staff at George Washington School in Edgewater were told to self quarantine through March 29 after a staffer came back with a positive Covid-19 diagnosis.

Store hours are now 7:30 am to 8 pm to give time for store associates to unload deliveries, stock shelves and serve customers throughout the day. Starting March 19, locations will open from 6 am to 7:30 am for customers over the age of 60 whom the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says are most vulnerable. New Jersey Herald

Additional limits were placed on first aid supplies and bottled water. News12 New Jersey

The New Jersey Assembly passed a series of bills in response to the growing coronavirus outbreak to assist people, schools, businesses and local governments grappling with the medical and financial impacts of the public health crisis.
