The Centers for Disease Control's recommendation that no events larger than 50 people be held for the next two months would eliminate a large portion of the scheduled run of "Back to the Warning Track," which led to the theatre deciding not to produce the show ar this time.

Like its fellow performing arts organizations, the Eagle Theatre will be affected by lost ticket sales.

Even in the best of times, ticket sales cover about half of the Eagle Theatre's operating budget. The theatre depends on donations for the rest of the funds to operate the theatre.

All public meetings of boards and commissions, except for City Council, are postponed until further notice, Bergen said.  

City Hall and the Knight Building will stay open. Access to the public, however, will be limited, Bergen said.

“As I mentioned in my update on Friday, there is no need to panic,” Mayor Jay Gillian said. “If we all work together to follow these guidelines, we can help protect the community from the worst of this virus.”

There are limited exceptions. Visitors for patients in hospice or end-of-life care will be chosen on a case-by-case basis. Maternity, pediatric and emergency patients can have one visitor or support person. Patients having same-day, outpatient surgeries can have one visitor. 

Visitors and support persons will be screened for symptoms of flu, coronavirus and other illness. 

Daily updates will be available on the chapter's Facebook and Instagram pages, Garvin said. 

The change is to cut down on unnecessary interactions that could spread the new coronavirus that causes COVID-19, the two departments said in separate news releases.

Dispatchers will take callers' information and an officer will reach out in a "timely manner," Lower Township Police said.

The two departments stressed that the change was only for minor reports and was to protect the vulnerable populations in the community who could be easily infected with careless interactions.

"We feel that because our officers interact with many people throughout the day, having them unnecessarily interact with residents, many of which are considered ‘vulnerable’, is a prudent and judicious approach to limiting a possible exposure," Middle Township said in the release.

We are taking this step because social distancing works," Murphy said in the statement. "It is our best chance to ‘flatten the curve’ and mitigate the chance of rapid spread, so we can respond to this public health emergency in an even more focused manner.”
