“Our statewide transmission rate is much higher than it has been for several weeks, signaling that this virus is once again beginning to make its way through New Jersey communities at a dangerous rate. We have to do everything in our power to stop coronavirus from regaining a foothold in our community. Keep wearing a mask, social distancing, and avoid gatherings with large groups of people.”
