Under the Fulop Administration, the City of Jersey City's response to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 had significantly brought the city into a state of duress and unstable future. As of November 2020, at least five deaths of City employees have occurred; largely in part due to the City's urgency to "return to work", cutting short pre-established and well rounded work from home policies for City employees and contractors, mitigating risk. Through the COVID-19 pandemic, Fulop's administration saw the death of Ward D Councilman Michael Yun on 6 April 2020. Failure to establish mitigation measures within the City of Jersey City significantly contributed to the resignation of Business Administrator Brian David Platt and Human Resources Director Mark Bunbury.
