Mayor James Davis gave the weekly COVID-19 video update on March 11.
This week, neither Mayor James Davis nor the Bayonne Office of Emergency Management (OEM) specified the exact number of active COVID-19 cases. As of March 4, there were approximately 130 residents positive for the virus.
However, active COVID-19 cases are down, according to Davis. He said that Health Officer Michele O’Reilly noted that the city has recently been witnessing a decrease in the number of active cases and the rate of positivity.
The number of hospitalizations has been fluctuating in the teens, as most residents recover at home. There were 11 COVID-19 patients at Bayonne Medical Center as of March 11. OEM does not have data on Bayonne residents in other hospitals.

OEM Coordinator Junior Ferrante gave the weekly COVID-19 video update on March 4.
Bayonne is readying for an expansion of its COVID-19 vaccination efforts, according to Bayonne Office of Emergency Management (OEM) Coordinator Junior Ferrante. The city has been vaccinating eligible residents since the first doses of the Moderna vaccine were distributed to hospital personnel at Bayonne Medical Center last December.
According to Ferrante, the city had been receiving only enough doses to vaccinate around 100 residents per day. That number has increased recently as the city’s supply has expanded.
“With the recent modest increases in our dosage allotments, we are now scheduling approximately 120 residents per day,” Ferrante said. As of last week, Ferrante said the city had vaccinated approximately 6,000 residents.
