New Jersey health officials say the number of deaths associated with the coronavirus in the state now tops 11,000.
The state Department of Health posted information Saturday indicating that there were more than 153,100 confirmed positive cases of COVID-19 and a total of 11,081 deaths were associated with the virus.
Gov. Phil Murphy said Saturday the state had 443 new confirmed positive cases but had lost 96 more New Jersey residents.
But the governor also said in a Twitter post that “a significant amount” of electronic laboratory reports haven’t yet been processed “and may be affecting today’s number of new cases.”
