Over the past four days, New Jersey has reported roughly 2,000 new cases of the coronavirus, Gov. Phil Murphy said Wednesday.
Indoor house parties are contributing to the increase in coronavirus cases in New Jersey, Gov. Phil Murphy said Wednesday."We've all had our routines turned upside down for the past four months and we want to blow off some steam with friends," he said."None of us can fault anyone for having that notion."
The governor said a"series" of recent house parties — including one attended by young people between the ages of 14 and 19 in Middletown — have been linked to more than 50 new positive cases. Additionally, a party on Long Beach Island has now sidelined nearly three dozen Surf City lifeguards, who have tested positive for the coronavirus, he said.
"This is no time for anyone to be vying for induction into the knucklehead hall of fame," the governor said."And unfortunately, all of the above instances qualify." Story continuesThere have been at least 183,793 confirmed cases of the coronavirus in New Jersey, with 15,798 deaths, according to NBC News' tally.
