New Jersey’s statewide transmission rate fell again to .68 on Sunday, the sixth straight day below the key benchmark of 1.
New Jersey’s recent surge in cases came as more people are getting tested than ever before. The state on Sunday also reported 992 probable cases from rapid antigen testing at medical sites.
Officials stress that daily death reports do not reflect fatalities that occurred in the last 24 hours and reporting is sometimes delayed for days or weeks as fatalities are investigated and certified. The recent holidays may play a factor in those reporting delays.The agency is recommending that all people in high transmission counties wear masks for indoor public settings regardless of vaccination status.
New Jersey has reported 1,787,213 total confirmed cases out of more than 17 million PCR tests conducted since the state’s first case was announced on March 4, 2020. The state has also reported 280,479 positive antigen or rapid tests, which are considered probable cases.More than 6.5 million of the 8.6 million eligible people who live, work or study in New Jersey have been fully vaccinated and more than 7.5 million have received a first dose since vaccines began here on Dec. 15, 2020.
Anyone 12 and older in the U.S. who has received their second dose of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine at least five months ago is eligible to get a booster shot. Anyone 18 and older who has received two doses of the Moderna vaccine is eligible, as is anyone 18 and older who received the Johnson & Johnson vaccine at least two months ago.
For the week ending Jan. 9, with around 60% of schools reporting data, another 37,169 confirmed cases were reported among staff and students .
