Prevention Strategies

The Juvenile Justice Commission (JJC) continues to take the following measures to mitigate the spread of COVID-19:

• Testing residents for COVID-19 upon intake, when symptomatic, or when otherwise recommended by JJC’s medical provider;
• Making COVID-19 vaccinations and boosters available to all residents;
• Following CDC and State of New Jersey isolation and quarantine guidelines for staff who test positive for COVID-19 or who have contact with an individual who has tested positive for COVID-19;
• Promoting preventative hygiene practices among youth;
• Following enhanced sanitization protocols;
• Mandating all individuals entering facilities wear face masks when community transmission levels are high (orange) and when facility transmission levels may be high;
• Making face masks available to all residents;
• Making additional personal protective equipment available to staff at facilities impacted by COVID-19.
