 Middletown is honored to be recognized as one of the winners of the “2021 New Jersey League of Municipalities Show Off Your City” photo contest! Entries needed to exhibit how local residents and officials managed to work, play, and thrive during this pandemic.
This incredible photo of Mayor Tony Perry and Fairview Elementary student Charlie Day, one of the “little Mayors” from the Township’s “Mayor For A Day” celebration, was selected from over 100 images since it showcases how we found a creative way to come together and have fun despite the challenges we faced due to COVID-19. Mayor Perry made special appearances at each child’s home and gave them a special Middletown pin, certificate and goody bag.
Middletown is proud to have continued to celebrate our community and make lasting memories!

Updated Travel Quarantine Guidelines from New Jersey Department of Health
Consistent with CDC's recommendations, the NJDOH has updated guidance for fully vaccinated persons as it relates to travel. Fully vaccinated persons should get tested 3-5 days after returning to the United States from international travel, but no quarantine following travel or test before travel (unless required by the destination) is needed. For domestic travel within the U.S., no quarantine or test before or after travel is needed for fully vaccinated travelers.
Travel recommendations for persons recently recovered from COVID-19 have also been updated. Similar to fully vaccinated travelers, persons who clinically recovered from COVID-19 in the past 3 months do not need to quarantine after travel. In addition, they do not need to be tested before or after travel, domestic or international.
All travelers should continue to wear a mask while traveling, stay 6 feet from others and avoid crowds, wash hands often or use hand sanitizer, self-monitor for symptoms during and after travel, and self-isolate should symptoms develop. For unvaccinated travelers, or travelers who have not recently recovered from COVID-19, the self-quarantine is voluntary, but compliance is expected.
