On Thursday, the Ocean County Health Department and County Government announced in a statement that they will continue to provide coronavirus tests during the week of April 13 at the drive thru testing site at Ocean County College but appointments will only be available on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

Appointments must be scheduled in advance for Ocean County residents. The site is open 9:00 am to 3:00 pm, weather permitting.

“We are meeting the testing needs of our residents and will reduce the number of test days to three at the college,” Ocean County Public Health Coordinator Dan Regenye said. “Should the need exist we will open up to five days again. Because of the limited number of tests we have, it still remains imperative that people follow the requirements to be tested at the college. We do not want anyone to show up at this testing site without following the requirements we have put in place. We are not going to do any health screenings at the site. It is just for testing for the virus.”

Here are some news and notes regarding the Coronavirus impacts in Ocean County:

  • Lakewood Police have broken up multiple weddings, engagement parties, funerals and other large social gatherings across different neighborhoods in the township over the last few weeks, several criminal complaints were issued for violation of Governor Murphy's 'Do Not Gather' Directive.

Ocean County Public Health Coordinator Dan Regenye said that if you experience symptoms such as a fever, dry cough or have difficulty breathing, start by remaining calm, then call your primary care physician, insurance company and even the Ocean County Health Department.

"If they do experience any of these symptoms the major thing is not to panic but to stay informed and contact their health care provider if they have any concerns," Regenye said. "If they're working with us, and we're either self-monitoring or we're working with them to be tested...if their symptoms get worse, we would ask them not to present themselves at the hospital or their physicians office. Work with us and we'll get you to the proper level of care with the proper notice to those establishments so you can get the proper level of treatment that's needed."
