22 New Weekly COVID Cases In South Brunswick
South Brunswick continues to report COVID cases in the double digits, as statewide numbers increase.
SOUTH BRUNSWICK, NJ — On Monday afternoon, South Brunswick reported 22 new COVID positive cases from last week.
Officials said that since COVID-19 results have been taking time and many reports being backlogged, the cases seem to increase at a higher rate.
“... Our overall Township COVID-19 cases, currently at 673 cases, have appeared to increase at a higher rate than they actually are, and may not accurately reflect trends within South Brunswick,” officials said in the report.
