- We are listing only the current residents that are POSITIVE with COVID-19. Numerous residents have been cleared from this list, as they have met the CDC criteria for NO LONGER NEEDING TO ISOLATE/MONITOR. We will continue to remove these recovered patients from our daily total. Approximately 20 people have been removed to date.
IF YOU CAN’T GET TESTED, AND HAVE SYPMTOMS OF COVID-19, ASSUME THAT YOU ARE POSITIVE AND FOLLOW SELF-ISOLATION AND TREATMENT ORDERS FROM YOUR PHYSICIAN
IMPORTANT Testing Information: NO ONE WILL BE TESTED AT ANY SITE UNLESS YOU HAVE SYMPTOMS. Regardless of testing location, we are not aware of ANY testing site that will perform a test unless you are symptomatic (includes at least fever and cough). If you have these symptoms and have not been tested, ASSUME THAT YOU ARE POSITIVE FOR CORONAVIRUS and follow your doctor’s instructions on self-isolation and treatment. Anyone that is currently ill and experiences a deterioration of symptoms, including difficulty breathing should call your physician or dial 9-1-1. Due to the limited number of tests available at any site, NO ONE WILL BE TESTED UNLESS YOU HAVE SYMPTOMS. Please do not contact Bayonne Office of Emergency Management for testing, as we do not have the ability to schedule anyone for testing.
TESTING OPTION: Do you need to be tested? You can call the Hudson County COVID-19 Testing Facility (Secaucus). You will be screened and given an appointment (no script needed). NO ONE WILL BE TESTED UNLESS YOU ARE SYMPTOMATIC. Medical professionals continue to advise that using a test on an asymptomatic person can give a false NEGATIVE, wasting that test kit. The numbers to call for the HC Testing Site are: 201-388-1097 or 646-862-1161. Keep in mind that anyone that is being tested, must be symptomatic.
BMC Testing at Veteran’s Memorial Stadium: BMC will continue testing tomorrow (10am-12pm) at Vet’s for patients of BMC physicians, Bayonne First Responders and Healthcare workers. BMC is actively seeking test kits to expand testing to patients of all doctors within Bayonne. PLEASE DO NOT GO TO THIS SITE WITHOUT AN APPOINTMENT. VETERANS STADIUM WILL BE CLOSED TO THE PUBLIC DURING THESE HOURS.
Please go to www.covid19.nj.gov or dial 2-1-1 for information related to this virus.
