Coronavirus Myth vs. Facts: Learn more about myth vs. facts related to the Federal (COVID-19) response at: fema.gov/coronavirus-rumor-control
Myth: There Is A National Lockdown And The Entire Country Will Be Quarantined For Two Weeks.
Fact: There is no national lockdown. As with all information online or shared via social media, it is important to verify the source of the information. You can find the latest information as well as links to additional resources at www.coronavirus.gov.
Myth: FEMA Has Deployed Military Assets.
Fact: No, FEMA does not have military assets. Like all emergencies, response is most successful when it is locally executed, state managed and federally supported. Each state’s governor is responsible for response activities in their state, to include establishing curfews, deploying the National Guard if needed and any other restrictions or safety measures they deem necessary for the health and welfare of their citizens.
Myth: I Heard That The Government Is Sending $1,000 Checks. How Do I Sign Up?
Fact: The U.S. Government is not mailing checks in response to COVID-19 at this time. Anyone who tells you they can get you the money now is a scammer. It’s important that you only trust information coming from official sources. The Federal Trade Commission recently provided more information about this scam and other common COVID-19 related scams on their website.
Thanks goes to FEMA Federal Emergency Management Agency for this information.
FYI for us Monmouth County folk#SheriffGolden stresses the importance of knowing when to dial 911 vs 211 and thanks all of those unsung heroes on the other end of the line ready to help 24/7.

A restaurant that fed its community during the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy is back at it for the coronavirus pandemic.
Long Branch Community,
I wanted to inform you that today I issued an order to the Police Department modifying our patrol response to some calls for service, as part of our ongoing Novel Coronavirus Plan. More reports will be able to be taken over the phone, thus decreasing the risk of transmission of the virus to our officers. Depending on the call type, you may be transferred to an officer to take the report, or an officer may call you shortly to take your report over the phone. We will still be responding to urgent and emergency calls as we always have. In short, your barking dog or stolen bicycle call, for example, may be taken over the phone instead of in person.
We are taking this step to attempt to reduce our exposure to the virus, so we can continue to serve the citizens of Long Branch. We plan to be here for you throughout this crisis. Thank you for your continued support, in this time of emergency.
Please don't forget to practice social distancing and hand washing! Stay safe and healthy.
Chief Roebuck

Please stay informed! And stay healthy!"Governor Murphy Announces Aggressive Social Distancing Measures to Mitigate Further Spread of COVID-19 in New Jersey. Among the directives, Governor Murphy’s Executive Order indefinitely closes all public and private preschool, elementary and secondary schools, and institutions of higher education, as well as closes all casinos, racetracks, gyms, movie theaters, and performing arts centers. The order also mandates that all non-essential retail, recreational, and entertainment businesses must cease daily operations from 8:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m. All restaurant establishments, with or without a liquor license, are limited to offering only delivery and/or take out-services only, both during daytime hours and after 8 pm."
