Additional funding for rental assistance for NJ
One of the key financial safety measures instituted during the COVID-19 pandemic by Gov. Phil Murphy was a moratorium on evictions in New Jersey. But that won’t last long more, Lt. Gov. Sheila Oliver pointed out Friday as she joined others in urging residents and landlords affected by the pandemic to apply for rental assistance. There’s $353 million in rental assistance for low- and moderate-income households that have taken a hit to their incomes during the public health crisis. And the state Department of Community Affairs is set to receive an additional $272 million for such assistance from American Rescue Plan funds.

Sir, – Naomi O’Leary points out that having a strong digital infrastructure in the health service is the secret weapon in dealing with the pandemic (“Europe’s vaccination no-shows: the likeliest explanation”, World, April 8th). It must be a secret because nobody told us.
In Estonia, 99 per cent of health data is digitised in a centralised national database which allowed the course of disease outbreaks to be tracked long before the current pandemic.
Naomi O’Leary writes that Ireland is on the other end of the scale with patient records siloed across different services and an archaic reliance on paper throughout the system This, she tells us, shocks healthcare workers who have worked abroad.
