Jersey Mike’s franchise group, Prospect Capital Restaurants (PCR), wasted no time in providing aid to their local communities as COVID19 outbreak forces schools to close. The group operates twelve locations throughout central and north New Jersey.
Reports of COVID cases increased and changes throughout the State are being implemented. On March 16, Governor Murphy ordered all schools to close by Wednesday to help prevent the spread of the virus.
The shutdown will affect about 1.4 million public school students and more than 115,000 teachers, while closing more than 2,500 schools across the state.
