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 69 cases on Friday, an increase of 505 over the previous week. Three new deaths were reported Friday in Monmouth County.

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 “yellow” 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.

Walk-in COVID-19 vaccine appointments are now available at Brookdale Community College. The Brookdale site will be open Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and on Saturdays from 8 a.m. to noon. Vaccines are available for residents who are at least 18 years old and live, work or attend school in Monmouth County. The County-operated sites administer the Moderna vaccine, which is not approved for anyone under the age of 18. For more information, visit www.visitmonmouth.com.

Free COVID-19 testing and vaccines will be offered on May 11 in Long Branch from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the Bucky James Community Center located at 231 Wilbur Ray Ave. The clinic has 200 tests and 100 vaccines. Once those are administered, the clinic will close for the day.
