Daily COVID Case Numbers Are Dropping In Wayne Township: Mayor

WAYNE, NJ — A 47-year-old township man has died from COVID-19, Mayor Christopher Vergano announced this week.

Despite the newly reported death, township coronavirus numbers are trending in a better direction than in December and January, when daily cases reached the mid-30s, on average.

Through the first week of February the township has reported 127 new cases of the coronavirus, an average of 18.1 per day, Vergano said.

Vergano announced these updated numbers during a COVID-19 briefing this week. Watch it here:

Vergano said the township is still receiving 300 doses of the coronavirus vaccine to operate their municipal clinic.

Additional doses have also come in for those who are scheduled to get a second dose in the coming days, Vergano said.

Appointments are still difficult for residents to get, Vergano said, due to the volume of people trying to sign up, and the limited amount of spots.
