In keeping with the New Jersey statewide standardized visitation policy, the Northern New Jersey region, which includes St. Joseph’s Health, has been elevated to a “Level Yellow” status for all visitors, going into effect today, Friday, December 3, 2021.  Although the St. Joseph’s Health COVID-19 positive patient volume continues to remain steady with slight upticks, the change in status is based on the coronavirus risk levels in surrounding communities.

Under the “Level Yellow”:

• No visitors are permitted for COVID-19 patients.
• All visitors must undergo a temperature screening and adhere to all masking and social distancing guidelines.

The flyer below outlines the updated status and guidelines.

Thank you for your continued cooperation in maintaining a safe environment for our patients, visitors and fellow employees.
