the state of New Jersey, the largest number of daily cases to date.
It’s also the third consecutive day of a number higher than
15,000. The high numbers could be due to the large number of people getting
tested before Christmas.
According to state data, 2,375 people were hospitalized as
of Friday night. It's the fifth day in a row that number has been over 2,000
and the most since April. There were six more deaths attributable to the virus.
