Newark will impose a moratorium on some rent evictions following two positive cases of coronavirus diagnosed in the city, Mayor Ras Baraka announced Sunday.
“There have been many Newark residents who believed the mythology that it would not come to Newark; but it’s here,” Baraka said at a city hall press conference, as cases across the state continue to multiply.
The moratorium will apply to evictions for anyone directly or indirectly affected by a quarantine order. The city also instituted a 60-day extension on tax payments and a waiver of associated fees and the suspension of water shut-offs, Baraka said. He signed an executive order putting those changes into effect during the press conference.
The Essex County Sheriff’s Office previously said they will not be carrying out eviction orders indefinitely.

Newark Mayor Ras Baraka called for a mandatory curfew and the closure of all non-essential businesses — with exceptions for restaurants, supermarkets, pharmacies and gas stations — for at least two weeks to stifle the spread of coronavirus.
The directive comes on the heels of the city’s first fatality from coronavirus. The man was in his 40s, had underlying conditions and died after testing positive for COVID-19, Baraka said.
“Although he had underlying health issues, he was young - just in his early forties,” Baraka said in a virtual town hall Wednesday. “So we all have to take this very, very serious. Newark had its first fatality in a coronavirus case.”
The mayor said he imposed an 8 p.m. curfew within the borders of the city effective immediately. The restrictions would not apply to people coming or going to work or in emergency situations.
All non-essential businesses will close at 8 p.m. Wednesday and not reopen until at least April 1, Baraka said. Non-essential businesses include salons and retail stores, the mayor said.
The only businesses that can remain open are supermarkets, pharmacies and gas stations and can only be patronized after 8 p.m. for emergencies. Laundromats, hotels, banks, auto mechanics, wireless/cellphone retail stores can also remain open.
Restaurants will have to close at 8 p.m. each day and can reopen on a daily basis. However, restaurants may only deliver and cannot have customers sit inside, a city spokeswoman said.

What does this mean? That’s a broad term, are you referring to new construction? What the market looks like? I’m an agent.

Wakefern Confirms Coronavirus Case at Newark ShopRite
March 23, 2020
A staff member at this Newark ShopRite tested positive for COVID-19. The company is performing an enhanced deep cleaning, disinfecting all workspaces used by the associate and common areas.
NEWARK, NJ — Wakefern Food Corporation confirmed a staff member at the ShopRite store in Newark tested positive for the coronavirus over the weekend after a letter sent home to employees circulated on Facebook, prompting city residents to question whether their safety was at risk.
On Saturday, Mayor Ras Baraka imposed a shelter-in-place order for three areas in the city identified as “hot spots” for the virus. The ShopRite is located in the Area 2 hotspot, but the employee who tested positive is not a Newark resident, according to Central Ward Councilwoman LaMonica McIver, who addressed the matter on Facebook.
“Those workers that may have come in contact with the employee have been directed to self- quarantine and follow-up with their respective Healthcare Professional,” she said in a post. “The City of Newark’s Health Office and I have been in constant contact with ShopRite representatives about important measures to protect employees and residents who shop there.
Daniel Emmer, a spokesperson for Wakefern, the supermarket cooperative that owns the ShopRite brand, said ShopRite of Newark is adhering to CDC guidelines and implementing an enhanced deep cleaning process, which includes disinfecting all workspaces used by the associate and common areas.
The store will remain open and continue to follow all necessary guidelines as recommended by the CDC.
“We are proud of the amazing dedication our associates are demonstrating, and we thank them for their service to our customers in keeping stores open and shelves stocked with the essentials they need,” Emmer said. “We wish our associate well and a speedy recovery, and we thank our customers for their patience and continued support.”
