New Jersey now has 5,368 coronavirus deaths as the total number of cases climbed to 99,989 on Thursday, though state officials continue to say they are seeing hopeful signs of the outbreak stabilizing, NJ.com reports.

Governor Phil Murphy said the latest numbers include about 307 new deaths and 4,227 new cases.

“We continue to see the curve of new COVID-19 cases remain significantly flat, even with today’s slight uptick in cases,” Murphy said during his daily press briefing in Trenton. “As we map the outbreak across the state, we continue to see a slowing in the rate of spread.”

On Facebook, he wrote: “➡️The curve of new COVID19 cases remains significantly flat ➡️A slowing of the rate of spread But, we CANNOT ease up one bit on our social distancing. I am not in a position yet to begin reopening our state and jumpstarting our economy.”

  1. I think if the rabbonim/askonim don’t take the initiative here and do something about opening the shuls in some way we are in danger of no shul for yomim noraim. Someone needs to do something. We can’t sit back and wait for something to happen

    • Not only shuls but all houses of worship. President Trump’s goal was to save the children. Not only rescuing them from beneath 100s of tunnels but from other places too… Like the Vatican, basements of tifless globally need a good bedikas chometz. So in order not to discriminate against ‘them’ and make it obvious, shuls have to be closed too.

    • I don’t know where you live, but take charge. Open up your own safe backyard minyan. Once we have enough critical mass, all the clogging garbage will be washed off by the furious waters.
