TRENTON, NJ - To mitigate the impact of COVID-19 and protect the capacity of New Jersey’s health care system for the state’s most vulnerable, Governor Phil Murphy today signed Executive Order No. 107, directing all residents to stay at home until further notice. The order provides for certain exceptions, such as obtaining essential goods or services, seeking medical attention, visiting family or close friends, reporting to work, or engaging in outdoor activities.
“From day one, we’ve made a commitment to be guided by the facts and take any action necessary to protect the health and safety of New Jersey’s nine million residents,” said Governor Murphy. “We know the virus spreads through person-to person contact, and the best way to prevent further exposure is to limit our public interactions to only the most essential purposes. This is a time for us all to come together in one mission to ‘flatten the curve’ and slow – and eventually halt – the spread of coronavirus.”

ATLANTIC HIGHLANDS, NJ – Both Bayshore Pharmacy at the Foodtown Shopping Plaza and Middletown Family Pharmacy in Campbells Junction have been able to keep up their supply of over the counter medications without any problem during the Corona virus crisis. Both stores also report their deliveries have tripled in the past week.
Richard Stryker, the second generation of his family at the Bayshore Plaza store which opened 55 years ago, and the company’s Middletown Family pharmacy which Stryker and his partner Scott Eagleton purchased three years ago, attribute their success with keeping supplied to the fact they receive six deliveries a week and can restock daily on most items. Stryker said because the stores use their own delivery car and do not rely on the postal service or FedEx, they immediately increased staff to respond to the anticipated need. The pharmacies have also doubled their delivery staff and implemented an emergency process in order to provide up to 4 times their already increased delivery ability.
