The coronavirus remains concentrated in the northeastern part of the state, while the southern part of the state has seen a far lower concentration. However, Murphy warned on Wednesday that the virus is making its way south in the state.
“We need to see COVID defeated not just in some places in our state but in every place,” he said.
Passaic County has the highest concentration, with 2,418 cases per 100,000, as of Tuesday.
Salem County has seen the fewest positive tests, with 227 cases per 100,000 people.
