In 18 of New Jersey's 21 counties there is a case of coronavirus, according to the state officials. The largest number of cases are concentrated in Bergen County which has 27 new cases for a total of 113.
Patients range in age from 5 to 95 and more than 50 percent of these patients in New Jersey are hospitalized.
