New Jersey's seven-day average for confirmed positive coronavirus tests dropped to 1,064, down 36% from a week ago and 87% from a month ago
Atlantic, Cape May, Hunterdon, Mercer, Monmouth, Passaic, and Salem counties have been downgraded to the substantial category, while the rest remain high. Masks are currently recommended for indoor public settings regardless of vaccination status in “high” and “substantial” transmission areas, though that is likely to change when the CDC announces its new guidance.— has started to spread in small numbers in New Jersey.
Officials continue to emphasize that while vaccinated and boosted residents can still catch the virus, they are less likely to spread it and far less likely to become hospitalized or die — especially those who have gotten booster shots. That also helps alleviate pressure on hospitals, they say. Among the 2.33 million residents unvaccinated or who haven’t completed the initial course of vaccination, there were 60,370 cases in that span. Those cases led to 1,571 hospitalizations and 223 deaths.
But Murphy said the state is seeing “the rates of in-school transmission now down to where they were pre-Omicron.”
