³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ Department of Health Statement on Mandatory Quarantine Order

On Tuesday evening, an asymptomatic individual who traveled from China to Newark Liberty International Airport was issued a mandatory quarantine order. While the individual did not present any symptoms, they were in Hubei Province on February 4 and therefore were issued a 14-day quarantine order. The individual, who is not a ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ resident, was transported to a location in Essex County, and the ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ Department of Health will monitor the individual for symptoms for the next 14 days.

The risk of novel coronavirus transmission in ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ residents remains low.
