Mayor Ravi S. Bhalla announced Monday that he is ending the City of Hoboken’s COVID-19 state of emergency due to a decline in confirmed positive cases of COVID-19 throughout the city and region.
The City of Hoboken Office of Emergency Management (OEM) first declared a state of emergency on March 12, 2020.
OEM signed an Executive Order on Monday rescinding the State of Emergency.
“After two long and hard years, we are finally at a point where it is no longer necessary to remain in a state of emergency,” Mayor Bhalla said. “This is an acknowledgment to everyone who has chosen to get vaccinated and boosted, which has helped us get through the tough times of the past year. We will continue to be guided by science as the pandemic becomes endemic, using the tools we know will protect our residents.”
