AS of Dec. 8, Hoboken University Medical Center was treating 28 people for COVID-19, seven of whom were Hoboken residents.
Hoboken officials are asking residents to postpone traveling and limit gatherings this holiday season because the Coronavirus continues to spread COVID 19 at a rate of transmission of 1.12 in New Jersey.
Indoor gatherings among non-household members remain one of the top ways COVID-19 is spreading among residents, according to contact tracing from the Health Department.
“I know it can be disappointing and upsetting to stay home,” said Mayor Ravi Bhalla. “But keeping our family and friends safe, especially those who are elderly and at-risk is the best thing we can do for them during the pandemic.”
