SUSSEX COUNTY, NJ — New data has been released that shows the coronavirus continues to have an impact on Sussex County (see town-by-town totals below).
The disease’s impact is reflected in the state Department of Health's most recent "COVID-19 Activity Level Report," which is issued weekly. The most recent report, released Thursday, says Sussex County is in the orange zone.
If the county is in the "orange" zone, it means it has a rate of 10 to 25 cases per 100,000 people. “Yellow” means the county has a rate 1 to 10 cases per 100,000 people.
