Who this notice covers
An infectious visitor from outside New Jersey visited four Morris County locations. NJDOH announced the potential exposures on November 13.
- Area
- Whippany, Morris Plains and Morristown, New Jersey
- What to match
- Both the location and the exposure window below. All dates are in 2026; all times are Eastern Standard Time (EST).
Locations and exposure windows
Hotel windows cross calendar days. 12:45 AM means 45 minutes after midnight, at the start of November 11.
| Location and address | Exposure window — EST |
|---|---|
| LegionsCon — Hanover Marriott · 1401 NJ-10 E, Whippany, NJ 07981 | Nov 6, 8:50–11:00 AM; Nov 7, 10:00 AM–6:30 PM |
| Sonesta Simply Suites Parsippany Morris Plains · 100 Candlewood Dr, Morris Plains, NJ 07950 | Nov 6, 9:00 PM–Nov 7, noon; Nov 7, 5:45 PM–Nov 11, 12:45 AM |

| Atlantic Health Morristown Medical Center — Emergency Department · 100 Madison Ave, Morristown, NJ 07960 | Nov 10, 10:50 PM–Nov 11, 1:30 AM |
Symptoms and follow-up
Watch for fever, cough, runny nose, red or watery eyes and a rash. Ask your clinician or local health department how long to monitor for your specific exposure. The NJDOH exposure table lists November 28 for the convention and Walgreens, and December 2 for the hotel and emergency department; the press release separately says symptoms could occur as late as December 4. Because these official dates differ, do not use one of them to decide on your own that follow-up is no longer needed.
Have your vaccination record ready
Have your MMR vaccination record ready when you call. Advice depends on immunity, age, pregnancy, immune health and the timing of exposure. Some preventive treatments are time-sensitive; contact a clinician promptly.
How the times were checked
The Walgreens window above follows both NJDOH’s English release and exposure table: November 7, 4:40–7:40 PM. The Spanish release says 7:30 PM. For the emergency department, both releases give November 10 as the start date; the exposure table currently contains “11/0/26.” This article uses the dates and times supported by those cross-checks.
Scope of this announcement
The November 13 announcement reported no additional linked New Jersey cases at release and did not list Fort Lee or Bergen County locations. This does not imply that Royal Pharmacy customers were exposed. Check the NJDOH page for changes.
