Today we are reporting 8,810 community cases, 690 hospitalisations and 18 deaths. The seven-day rolling average of case numbers continues to decline, Today's seven-day rolling average is 13,543, while the seven-day rolling average of cases as at last Sunday was 16,325.

While it is encouraging to continue to see case numbers and the seven daily rolling average of cases drop, it’s not unexpected as we generally see lower testing and reporting over weekends.

It’s also an important reminder to remain vigilant. From 11:59pm tomorrow night, there is no requirement to use My Vaccine Pass.

Businesses will still be able to use the system if they would like to. As restrictions around the pass ease, it is important for people to continue to follow public health advice to stay at home; away from school or work if you’re feeling unwell.

3 New Jersey boys honored for helping save boy who fell through ice

EDGEWATER PARK, N.J. - Three New Jersey boys were recognized Tuesday for helping rescue another boy who had fallen through an icy pond in January. Timothy Graf, 12, said he and his friend were walking on the frozen pond at Roosevelt Park when they heard the ice begin to crack beneath them. "It was a very cold day, it had been cold for a while, and we were walking on the ice, and we heard cracks," Graf told FOX 29's Shawnette Wilson. Graf said the ominous cracks finally gave way and his friend fell through the ice. When Graf tried to pull him out, he also fell into the freezing cold water.Graf managed to climb out and two teen boys who were also on the ice heard the commotion. "He was panicking, he wasn't screaming or crying, he was just panicking," Michael Marsh said. Marsh and Tristian Dehn feared that hypothermia could set in and pulled the boy out of the water after about 30 seconds. "At first you're like ‘oh I got to get these kids out,' there's no 'I'm terrified!'," Dehn said about his initial reaction to helping the boy.

Quaker community in Haddonfield decorate with images of peace after symbols of hate painted on trees

HADDONFIELD, N.J. - Images of hate were painted on trees in Haddonfield over the weekend. The Quakers are long known as pacifists but they said they can't stay silent after swastikas were painted on trees in the South Jersey town. Police say vandals painted two of the hateful symbols on trees at the entrance to the Haddonfield Friends Cemetery, which sits between the Quaker Meeting House and the Friends School. Third-grader Sophia Selina saw the hateful symbols and spoke to FOX 29's JoAnn Pileggi. ‘It was horrible," she said. "I couldn’t believe my eyes and I don't know why anyone would do it." Residents wonder if the incident was random or a deliberate act. The Department of Public Works covered the hateful symbols with paint and police are investigating. Members of the Friends Meeting House decorated the fence and placed signs of love and peace where the hateful symbols were covered. They hope to spread the message that love and peace will prevail over hate. Haddonfield Mayor Colleen Bianco Bezich released a statement on the incident, saying, "I am disgusted by the swastikas and grateful to our Haddonfield Police Department and Department of Public Works for responding, reporting, and working to clean up these signs.
