New Jersey reported a further 4,679 on Saturday Corona virus Cases and 34 additional deaths, while hospital admissions rose to the 22nd day The second wave of infection There is a constant barrage to the state.

A day later The mayor of Newark announced that it is asking residents of the state’s largest city to stay home for 10 days Starting the day before Thanksgiving, Govt. Bill Murphy No new restrictions were announced Saturday against the second wave.

But Murphy, Echoes the predictions of the great federal epidemiologist Dr. Anthony Fucci, Warned that the next few months will be difficult. Although New Jersey has significantly increased trials, the governor said the numbers will “undoubtedly get worse” as more people move in due to the cold weather.

Authorities continued to urge residents to wear masks, observe social distance, wash their hands and keep the string of upcoming holiday celebrations short.

“Numbers speak for themselves. Take this seriously. Wear a mask. Social distance. Avoid large gatherings.” Murphy said on Twitter.

In a bright note, officials announced Friday that New Jersey could Pfizer can get up to 160,000 doses of corona virus vaccine If the company wins emergency application approval from the federal government by Christmas.

If Modernna’s vaccine takes a similar path, it could mark a total of 460,000 vaccinations in the state in early January, while the general population could reach a wider range by April or May.

New Jersey has now reported a total of 302,039 positive tests out of the more than 5.5 million tests administered since the eruption in March.

There were 16,746 corona virus deaths reported at the time in the state of 9 million residents, of which 14,934 were confirmed deaths and 1,812 were considered potential deaths.

New Jersey recorded less than 4,000 new cases after being marked Friday for the first time in four days, with cases crossing the benchmark on Saturday.

The statewide seven-day average for new positive tests rose to 3,933, up 23% from a week ago and 278% a month.

Seven day cases are now higher than the first waves of the epidemic, however the comparison is disappointing because the government carried out less than 12,000 tests a day and the outbreak was calculated.

There are an average of 45,000 tests per day in the state this month, and that number is not the most recently used rapid tests.

Murphy reminded residents of it More than 400 test sites Available statewide.

However, the key numbers used by health officials to monitor the outbreak are going in the wrong direction.

As of Friday night, there were 2,552 patients with confirmed or suspected coronavirus in 71 hospitals in New Jersey. This is much lower than the 8,000 people admitted to the hospital in April, but the highest since May 28. The number of hospital admissions has nearly tripled over the past month.

Of the 2,552 patients, 486 were on intensive or emergency treatment and 232 on ventilators. This is the 22nd day increase, despite 305 outflows on Friday.

The positive rate for tests conducted on Tuesday, the most recent day available, was 8.66%. Over the past week the rate has been above 8% after falling below 4% in the summer.

The latest statewide exchange rate dropped to 1.38. Any number above 1 means that the explosion is constantly expanding. New Jersey has been above that mark since the beginning of September.

At least 100 new cases were reported in 21 counties led by Essex (536), Camden (435) and Bergen (427) districts on Saturday.

The government has not announced when the 34 newly announced deaths occurred.

Updates are coming as corona virus cases, deaths and hospitalizations Rise in America, And waiting times and The long lines at the test sites have increased dramatically.

Murphy had previously said that New Jersey figures were increasing because people were tired of observing viral controls such as wearing masks, and because the weather was getting colder, especially indoors.

To combat the spread, Murphy is there Ordered indoor bars and restaurants Closes daily at 10pm in New Jersey Canceled Interstate Indoor Game Up to high school level. Indoor meetings are now limited to 10 people, down from 25, and outdoor meetings will be limited to 150, starting on Monday, from 500.

Murphy stopped ordering another statewide strike, as he did in the spring, but insisted all options were on the table.
