Coronavirus Positive Tests in Oakland:

Today the Borough of Oakland was notified by the Bergen County Health Department that there are a total of 134 individuals in Oakland who tested positive for the Coronavirus (COVID-19). The Bergen County Health Department is no longer providing towns with patient details such as gender and age so we are not able to provide that information to the community.

If anyone has questions about COVID-19, you can call the 24-hour New Jersey Hotline at (800) 222-1222. You can also visit the State of NJ Coronavirus Website Here.

Updates will be provided as they become available.

Internet & Phone Service:

Governor Phil Murphy signed Executive Order 126 which prohibits cable and telecom providers from terminating residential Internet and voice service during the crisis due to non-payment. Additionally, those providers must reconnect (at the request of the customer) any residential service disconnected after March 16th for nonpayment. Click here for more information.
