New Jersey is well positioned to navigate spikes in Covid-19 cases that will likely occur throughout the fall and winter, Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said Thursday.
With daily reports of new cases at one point registering in the thousands, New Jersey only began to flatten the curve after Murphy imposed a stay-at-home order that shut down most of New Jersey’s retail economy. Mask mandates were put in place and, until late May, large gatherings were prohibited. On Thursday, New Jersey reported 588 new cases and a rate of transmission of 1.15. Its spot positivity rate, the percentage of new tests that came back positive, remains below 3 percent.
During the Facebook Live event, Fauci repeated his expectation that doses won’t be distributed to the public at-large until mid-to-late 2021.
