In order to provide a safe school environment this fall for teachers, students and staff, New Jersey Department of Health Commissioner Judy Persichilli said Aug. 12 that the DOH is “implementing a statewide approach, but with a regional and local focus to be responsive to the local characteristics of school participation.”
The state will be divided into six regions — “similar to how we manage the flu surveillance,” Persichilli added — and the regions will be assigned a color code related to their respective coronavirus transmission and community risk.
