New Jersey's seven-day average for confirmed cases was 1,654 Thursday, up 3% from a week ago, and up 139% from a month ago
deaths across the state and 2,369 new confirmed positive tests — 700 more than the number from one day earlier.
There were 425 patients with confirmed or suspected coronavirus cases across 70 of the state’s 71 hospitals as of Wednesday night. One hospital did not report data. Hospitalizations hit a recent peak at 6,089 on Jan. 10 during the omicron wave that spread across the state this winter. 1.24 on Tuesday, the latest number available. When the transmission rate is over 1, that means each new case is leading to at least one additional case and the outbreak is expanding.
BA.2, the new strain of COVID-19, has been spreading in New Jersey for weeks, though at much lower rates than the omicron surge in December and January. Officials have said the omicron “stealth” subvariant appears to spread more easily but generally does not cause more severe illness.
