Mayor Shanley COVID-19 Update October 27, 2020
Cases continue to rise in NJ and around the United States. 6 counties were over 100 positives today with Union County having 238 new positives and Essex County having 219 new positives today on the NJ dashboard. Only 3 states are in the green on RT.live and NJ is no longer ranked last. See below. We must remain vigilant in our fight against this virus.
NJ had 1,994 new positives on Saturday, 1,140 on Sunday, 1,223 positives Monday and 1,663 positives today which brings the total cases in NJ since the start to 231,331. This is 10 straight days over 1,000 and we have not seen that in months
.
NJ hospitalizations are up from my Friday report from 874 to 957 COVID-19 patients today with increases in the North from 446 to493, an increase in the Central from 213 to 240 and an increase in South Jersey from 215 to 224. Patients in critical care are down from 212 to 182 patients and patients on ventilators decreased from 73 to 68. NJ deaths rose 8 on Saturday, 4 on Sunday, 7 on Monday and 14 unfortunate confirmed deaths today as a result of COVID—19.
The Governor’s ROT increased from 1.17 to 1.26 today which is down from my Friday report. On RT live the ROT decreased from 1.37 on Friday to 1.18 today which is a positive sign. See link:
NJ needs the ROT to drop below 1 again.
The new positives by FLOW towns since Tuesday are 7 new positives in Wyckoff bringing us from 444 to 451 , 5 new positives in Franklin Lakes bringing them from 236 to 241 and negative 2 positives in Oakland bringing them down rom 276 to 274. Bergen County had 505 new positives bring our county from 24,389 positives to 24,894 positives.
My next reports is Friday night when I hopefully get the new numbers for the FLOW towns and Bergen County. It may be later than usually because if all goes well, the Shanley family is going to hopefully be able to adopt our new rescue dog (a Boxer puppy).
Keep the faith! Remain Wyckoff Strong!
Have great night and rest of the week.
Tim Shanley, Wyckoff Mayor
