FOX 29's Lauren Dugan has the latest information. TRENTON, N.J. - New Jersey’s COVID-19 death toll saw its biggest spike yet, climbing by 379 deaths, Gov.
Phil Murphy said Tuesday. The spike comes as the number of new cases has been leveling off, according to Gov. Murphy. New Jersey has had 4,753 deaths from the virus and more than 92,000 cases, up from about 89,000.
Despite some positive signs, like the leveling off of cases and the increasing time it takes for the number of people with COVID-19 to double, Murphy said there are still weeks to go of social distancing. “We cannot rush to reopen anything and risk undoing all the extraordinary work you’ve done so far,” Murphy said.
