Middlesex County’s COVID Cases: See Town-By-Town Updates

MIDDLESEX COUNTY, NJ — New data has been released Friday that shows the coronavirus continues to have an impact on Middlesex County (see town-by-town totals below).

Middlesex County reported 266 new confirmed cases on Friday and three deaths in the past 24 hours. That is an increase from the week prior, which recorded 201 new cases.

In total, since the start of the pandemic, there have been 68,979 coronavirus cases in Middlesex County and 1,821 total deaths.

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 Middlesex 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.

Several New Jersey school districts are still hybrid with remote instruction even as the number of new daily cases has dropped in recent weeks.
