The increase in new cases reported since yesterday was nearly 4%, the lowest rise New Jersey has reported since the coronavirus outbreak began, Murphy said.
Phil Murphy, governor of New Jersey, speaks while Ras Baraka, mayor of Newark, left, listens during a budget press conference in Newark, New Jersey, U.S., on Wednesday, June 27, 2018.The pace of new coronavirus infections in New Jersey is slowing even as the number of cases rises, indicating that the state's efforts to contain the pandemic are "clearly working," Gov. Phil Murphy said Monday.
"It's still rising, these cases are still rising, Murphy said. "We have got to hit that plateau and then aggressively bring it down back on the other side." Although the rate of new infections seems to be flattening, Murphy said the state is "right in the thick of it" and can't take its foot off the gas. He has taken a series of actions to prevent the spread of the coronavirus in the state, including closing all state and county parks. On Saturday, he said he would sign an executive order to cut capacity on all transit systems by half.
