COVID-19 cases have decreased for the first time in nearly eleven weeks.
As of Dec. 17, there were 239 active cases, according to the Bayonne Office of Emergency Management (OEM). This is a decrease in 106 cases since Dec. 10. Another resident has died: an 86-year-old woman.
OEM said that 3,012 residents tested positive, regardless of where that test was given, as of Dec. 17.
Since the beginning of the pandemic, 88 Bayonne residents have died, and 2,685 have recovered.
COVID-19 hospitalizations at BMC remain low because most residents recover at home. There were 20 COVID-19 patients at BMC as of Dec. 17. OEM does not have data on Bayonne residents in hospitals other than BMC.

Assemblyman Nicholas A. Chiaravalloti and the City of Bayonne have announced the arrival of a new COVID-19 testing site for the upcoming winter holiday season. Chiaravalloti represents the 31st Legislative District, encompassing Bayonne and parts of Jersey City.
The site, in the Bayonne Community Museum at 229 Broadway, will offer tests before, during, and after the holidays.
Expanding testing
“As someone with older family members, I completely understand the desire to see them for the holidays, but also the worry that comes along with it,” Chiaravalloti said. “That’s why I’m happy to have secured this testing site and to give Bayonne residents the comfort of knowing that they’re not putting their loved ones at risk. Mayor Davis, the City Council, and our front line workers have done an amazing job keeping Bayonne safe, but the next few weeks are very important.”
