He added that anyone under self-quarantine can contact the CERT team to get them groceries and that service can be requested at 201-420-5620.

The mayor also said he was happy to announce their are now enough coronavirus testing kits to open up the RMC’s testing center to the general public. It had previously only been open to their patients.

“While testing centers are open in Hudson County and across the state, with the surge in cases expected, it’s important for residents with COVID-19 symptoms to have more convenient access to testing right here in Hoboken.”

There are currently four testing sites open in Hudson County: two in Jersey City, one in Bayonne, and one in Secaucus.

In addition to the RMC drive-through facility, there is also a new site in Union City opening on Monday for all North Hudson residents. They are currently seeking active or retired medical professionals to volunteer.
