Due to the state-wide air quality alert, the Bergen County Health Department strongly advises all individuals to remain indoors and limit outdoor activities until further notice. The Northern New Jersey and NYC Metro region is anticipated to experience some of the most severe air quality conditions in the country as a result of smoke drift from ongoing Canadian wildfires, which poses a significant health risk, especially for those with respiratory conditions, children, and the elderly. Your safety and well-being are our top priorities, and we appreciate your cooperation during this critical time.
