Hudson County has become the
latest county in New Jersey considered to have a high risk of COVID-19 transmission.
The state currently has 11 counties in the
high-level category. The rest are
labeled as having
a substantial risk.
It comes as the state reported Wednesday its most new cases since the
end of April. Just under 700 people are being treated for the virus at
hospitals across the state.
The CDC recommends that everyone,
regardless of vaccination status, wear masks indoors in areas with a
substantial or high risk.
