Another 5,490 New Jersey residents have tested positive for novel coronavirus (COVID-19), bringing the statewide total to 555,299 cases confirmed via polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing, Governor Phil Murphy reported Friday.
New Jersey is also reporting 1,042 new COVID-probable cases based on antigen tests, bringing the statewide total to 60,787 positive antigen tests.
Antigen tests have a faster turnaround time than PCR tests sometime within 15 to 30 minutes but are less reliable at detecting active infection of the virus and more capable of reporting false positives.
Sadly, 67 more residents have perished from complications related to the virus, bringing the statewide death toll to 18,229 lives lost during the pandemic.
