TRENTON, NJ – For the second consecutive day, Governor Phil Murphy has announced no new COVID-19 deaths.  On Saturday, Murphy reported 11 more lab-confirmed deaths but did not identify any new deaths within the past few days in that number as he has done all week.

This is the second consecutive COVID-19 death-free day across New Jersey.  On Friday, Judith Persichili, who needs absolutely no introduction reported that for the first time since March, nobody died of COVID-19 and there were also no new cases of multi-system inflammatory syndrome in children.

“Our hospitals reported 695 hospitalizations with 113 individuals in critical care, and only 39% of them are on conventional ventilators. Fortunately, no new reports of the multi-system inflammatory syndrome in children. Our total remains at 54,” Persichilli said. “The ages of the children affected range from 1 to 18. At this point, none of these children are currently hospitalized. The Governor reviewed the new cases and deaths.”
