30 Of Woodbridge's 152 COVID Cases Under The Age Of 10

WOODBRIDGE, NJ — As of Friday, Sept. 24, six new COVID cases were reported in Woodbridge public schools, according to the district's COVID dashboard, and 152 new cases were reported Township-wide.

"The prior three weeks were 168, 175 and 171, so it’s a small decrease but we will take good news any time we can get it," said Woodbridge Mayor John McCormac.

However, Woodbridge's COVID cases are trending younger and younger, with 30 of the 152 under the age of 10, he said. The status of these children is unknown.

Woodbridge will hold another vaccine clinic this Thursday from 3:00 to 6:00 p.m. at the Health Center. They will be giving out booster shots for those who qualify.

Since the school year began Sept. 7, there have been 121 reported coronavirus cases so far in the Woodbridge district, according to the dashboard.
