Health officials in New Jersey on Friday confirmed coronavirus 3,, 7,. Confirmed cases were reported and 25.2,000,000 were given in vaccination efforts following shocks scheduled earlier this week due to long-term winter storms.
The seven-day average for confirmed positive tests fell to 3,232, down from 28% a week earlier and 30% a month earlier. That’s the lowest seven-day average in new cases since Nov. 14.
After signing legislation expanding outdoor dining options for restaurants, bars and distilleries, government Phil Murphy provided the latest update on coronavirus briefings in Trenton hours. In addition, indoor dining capacity increased from 25% to 35% on Friday morning. The 35% expansion includes other locations, including a gym, personal care services and a casino.
Murphy said more than 745,000 doses of the vaccine were given earlier as the daily shot dose increased.
“They’re just growing, but the growth rate is steaming up,” Murphy said. “In the past week, the number of initial doses has increased by more than 135,400. That’s an increase of 22%. And, the number of residents who have now received both doses – whether modern or Pfizer vaccine – has risen to 69,258. And that’s an increase of about 63% in the last seven days. We clearly need more doses. “
Murphy said hospitals1 hospitals in New Jersey admitted 2,916 patients with confirmed or suspected COVID-19 cases, down 66 patients from the previous day. Murphy’s hospital number is different from the number registered on the state dashboard.
New Jersey has now lost 21,886 residents after nearly 11 months of the outbreak – 19,699 were confirmed and deaths have been reported and 2,187 are considered probable. The state recorded 351 confirmed deaths in the first five days of February. The death toll in January was 2,377, the highest in any month in May.
The total number of confirmed cases now stands at 637,357 out of more than 9.5 million PCR tests. There have also been 75,967 positive antigen tests. Which the state recently began reporting to the public. These cases are considered probable and health officials have warned that positive antigen tests confirm PCR. Tests can overlap, as they are sometimes given in follow-up.
The transmission rate recorded on Friday fell below 0.94 on Thursday to .092. Any number below 1 indicates that the outbreak is slow.
The positivity rate for the tests conducted on Monday was 6.83% out of 17,884 tests available in recent days. The number of tests in the first part of this week, however, is likely due to the monster blizzard that has buried half of the state in more than a foot of snow averaging more than 30 inches in some places.
