WALL TOWNSHIP, NEW JERSEY – The Township of Wall
continues readiness efforts for the Coronavirus (COVID-19) and any potential
effects on the community. Citizens are encouraged to utilize available
resources to maintain awareness and to observe healthy practices.
Being properly informed and following proper

in curtailing the spread of the virus with simple steps.
The Wall OEM is working closely with Mayor

State, and Federal agencies including the NJ State Department of Health (NJDOH)

situation. Those with questions may call 1-800-222-1222.
We will continue to work closely with our
community partners and government agencies to prepare for any local public
health response.

practices, including:
- Wash hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.
