Thanks for the update! Several schools in Essex County where we are will be moving to "distance learning" from 3/16 - 3/27 and they'll then reassess whether to extend it. I also saw that Disneyland is closing starting on 3/14 through the end of the month. Unfortunately, we canceled our trip but it's for the best until things start to get under control. Thanks again for the update!
We are in double digits for our Disney trip and I’m trying to decide if I should be excited or concerned. 
Hi, we are in Gloucester County and all of our schools are now closed for a minimum of 2 weeks until March 30th. However we are doing "remote learning" so they say it will count towards the 180 days. So, tomorrow starts our remote learning. We shall see how this works out
Hopefully Burlington Co. Is doing the same so as to not have to extend school longer at the end??? I personally think for us March 30th will get extended as well.
Aww I know how you feel. We are (were) at 23 days.It’s crazy. I’m assuming our kids will be off next week as well. We are hoping to get an announcement today. Things have changed so much since our last big virus outbreak. I don’t remember anything being this drastic. I just hope we can all get back to normal soon.
I know in my heart it's never opening up in the beginning of April so our trip will be cancelled but we most likely won't call to deal with this til later in the month. We were so looking forward to it but hopefully we will reschedule for summer or whatever. 
Hopefully yours will be safe enough of a time away for it to be ok.Bergen Cty has stated min two weeks but the administration on our district is preparing for longer. I’m in the business office of the district and we were told district is remaining open only schools closed. So at least I know our district will continue teaching until things go back to normal. Not sure if all towns are able or prepared for distance learning
I know this is all for the good of curbing the spread of this terrible virus but it's like being quarantined whether you have the virus or not. I guess the thing is you can have and not know it and potentially spread it to other unsuspecting people. My neighbor called me on Sunday, she was leaving church and headed to the store. She wanted to know if we needed anything, we didn't as we always go the store on Monday. I texted her on Monday to say we were headed out to the store if she needed anything. She texted back that she and her daughter were on lock down for 14 days because a co-worker had the virus. She doesn't know if she has it or not but quarantined just incase. Goes to show you never know who might have it or who you might be giving it to you...so I guess this makes it clearer to me why we should stay home as much as possible and limit who we see in person.
I sincerely hope all of you a keep well and that none of us gets this terrible virus. I have confidence in our elected officials that they are doing everything they can to get this under control as soon as possible. This too shall pass.
Thank you for sharing! I wonder if we'll see more of this in the coming days. While no one knows exactly how many cases there are given the relatively low number of tests performed, I was just looking at a dashboard on the Dept. of Health's website (https://www.nj.gov/health/cd/topics/covid2019_dashboard.shtml) and there's a huge disparity in the number of confirmed cases between counties. I don't know how this would actually be enforced, but I can see those with few or no cases wanting to restrict people from other counties entering.
