Monmouth County's COVID Cases: See Town-By-Town Updates

MONMOUTH COUNTY — New data has been released that shows the coronavirus continues to have an impact on Monmouth County (see town-by-town totals below).

Monmouth County reported 317 cases on Friday, an increase of 2,151 cases and .0013 percent over the previous week.

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 Monmouth 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.

If the overall activity is at a "orange" level, state officials say, school districts in those counties would have to take more serious steps — such as quarantining or even shutting down schools — if a child shows the symptoms of COVID-19.

"When it is high risk, there are some recommendations that we make together with local school boards," said Edward Lifshitz, medical director for the state Department of Health.

Indeed, a number of school districts still provide remote instruction even as the number of new daily cases has dropped in recent weeks.
