Our contact tracers will be trained by @RutgersSPH and by local health departments. We will bring them fully up to speed on the CommCare platform – the database that allows us to do this work effectively. THIS IS NOT A TRACKING APP. https://t.co/VRo4eo4QNL — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Phil Murphy @GovMurphy

We anticipate that our initial scaling efforts will require us to bring at least 1,600 additional contact tracers on board in June. We’re already preparing for the first cohort. We’re fully prepared to bring on as many as 4,000 contact tracers, or more, should we see the need. https://t.co/GiBP28IiAR — PolitiTweet.org

Each step of our restart and recovery will be accompanied by the on-boarding of new contact tracers.   As part of their training, contact tracers will follow a full curriculum that includes a focus on interview skills, ethics, and privacy. — PolitiTweet.org

New Jersey’s robust contact tracing program will supplement and support the great work of our local health departments.   Our goal is to ensure that contact tracers receive information that is uniform, secure, and can benefit other communities. https://t.co/bGPSMwY2y6 — PolitiTweet.org

CONTACT TRACERS: ☑️Notify people who’ve been in close contact with an individual who has tested positive for #COVID19 ☑️Urge them to get tested and help them find a testing site ☑️Urge them to self-quarantine and provide support ☑️Help prevent further spread — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Phil Murphy @GovMurphy

There are roughly 900 contact tracers already at work in local health departments across New Jersey – identifying the people who’ve been in close contact with an individual who has tested positive for #COVID19 in the days immediately before their positive test result. — PolitiTweet.org

#COVID19 is still out there and among us. There is no vaccine, and there are no proven therapeutics. The only real protections we have against coronavirus are: 👥Social distancing 🧪Testing 📋Contact tracing — PolitiTweet.org

Just got tested for #COVID19 with @FirstLadyNJ – it was quick and easy. I urge all New Jerseyans – especially those who have taken part in protests or marches like us – to go out and get tested.

Mocking George Floyd’s murder in effort to belittle the calls for justice from our Black and Brown communities is repugnant. I condemn this behavior in the strongest terms possible. We won’t let the actions of a few distract from our progress toward dismantling systemic racism. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Phil Murphy @GovMurphy

I anticipate being able to raise the limit on OUTDOOR non-protest and non-religious gatherings – unless we see a significant uptick in new #COVID19 cases – to: 👥250 people on 6/22 👥500 people on 7/3 Schools planning graduations should prepare for a 500-person limit by 7/6. — PolitiTweet.org

Public health creates economic health. Our economy can’t restart unless we know that New Jerseyans have confidence that we’re doing all we can to safeguard their health. Let’s all keep doing our parts. https://t.co/jkT8h7lFby — PolitiTweet.org

We remember Julian Rydarowski, who enlisted in the U.S. Navy and assisted the 1st Marine Division during the Korean War. After returning home, he spent nearly 40 years in medicine. He loved spending time with his family. Jules was a model New Jerseyan. May God bless him. https://t.co/naDK4PGJw4 — PolitiTweet.org

We remember Suzanne Koransky. She dedicated her career to the Wayne Public Schools, first as the nurse at Schuyler Colfax Middle School before becoming the district-wide Supervisor of Health Services. May God bless her. https://t.co/vVoyBOQpKH — PolitiTweet.org

We remember Anthony Lupo, a longtime Ridgewood resident. He was an active member of his community, particularly with Our Lady of Mount Carmel, where he was a member of the Knights of Columbus & Men’s Cornerstone. He was also a volunteer basketball coach. May God bless him. https://t.co/1abHNa21Vj — PolitiTweet.org

Sadly, we’ve lost another 91 members of our New Jersey family to #COVID19, bringing our statewide total to 12,303. We can never forget those we’ve lost, and who will not be joining us on our road back. May they never be just a number. https://t.co/IJWKoBVg5d — PolitiTweet.org

We can take these steps today because of the data and the prevailing science. The data tells us that the time can be now. The science tells us that outdoor activities are far safer than indoor activities. We will continue to base our decisions squarely on facts and data. — PolitiTweet.org

LOOK: We’re still not out of the woods. We’re still near the top of some lists we don’t want to be atop of. This is why we need you to continue practicing distancing. https://t.co/iO63NaP2qZ — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Phil Murphy @GovMurphy

The numbers of hospitalizations, patients in our ICUs, and patients on ventilators, continues to push DOWNWARD. We’ve seen these trends sustained over time, and across each region of our state. https://t.co/nZ4PLtyqyd — PolitiTweet.org
