From RCE Director Dr. Brian Schilling,
“…Cooperative Extension… continue[s] to operate under the directive that all Rutgers Cooperative Extension events, programs, and noncredit classes involving groups larger than 15 participants are to be cancelled through at least April 3. Significant progress is being made with the movement of programs and associate resources into online formats.
“Over the past week, RCE county offices have begun altering their operations to promote social distancing and continue programs/service provision, as is feasible. RCE and county government partners are working to ensure continuity of operations, which in many instances involves remote work arrangements and/or restrictions of the public to county facilities. The [current] operating status of our county offices is as follows:
-
- Closed – 9 offices (Burlington, Camden, Cape May, Essex, Mercer, Morris, Passaic, Somerset, Union)
- Open, Public Access Limited – 10 offices (Atlantic, Bergen, Cape May, Cumberland, Gloucester, Hunterdon, Middlesex, Monmouth, Ocean, Salem, Warren)
- Open, No Restrictions – 1 office (Sussex)
