Editor’s note: there is sometimes a discrepancy between the county reports and reports from municipalities. The most recent reports from Maplewood and South Orange, which you can find on Village Green, are the most accurate counts, as the individual towns are the ones actually investigating reported cases.
Statewide there are 178,858 cases of COVID-19 and 13,856 deaths reported today. Today’s reported cases are pending.
