Going out to bars in parts of New Jersey is about to become more like school. In an attempt to take proactive steps against the coronavirus outbreak, members of Jersey City’s government are telling certain bars to take attendance of all its visitors. Jersey City Mayor Steven M. Fulop issued a press release in connection with city health and public safety officials addressing the situation. While there are no confirmed cases of coronavirus in the city, Jersey City is near New York City, which has multiple confirmed cases. Stacey Flanagan, director of Health and Human Services in Jersey City, also asked citizens to limit public gathering, maintain personal hygiene and to stay home when they’re sick.
