NEW JERSEY – Gov. Phil Murphy, speaking during a Tuesday press conference, said New Jersey once again had its deadliest day in the coronavirus outbreak as 3,644 new cases and 379 more deaths were announced. Murphy, however, said the Garden State continues to show progress in its management of the outbreak (you can watch it here, below).

New Jersey now has 92,387 coronavirus cases and the state has lost 4,753 people to the disease.

On Monday, 630 people were discharged.

Despite the grim numbers, Murphy said several positive trends continue, noting that New Jersey is seeing decreases in the number of new daily hospitalizations.

"This ties almost directly with the fact that we're slowing the rate of spread," he said. "The fewer people who test positive, the fewer people who need to go to the hospital."

He pointed to a graph pointing to the trend: Murphy said the number of patients in either critical or intensive care also has been relatively stable over the past week. So has the number of ventilators in use.

"We want these numbers to decrease, but not seeing any significant increases is a good starting point," Murphy said.

Murphy, who is expected to provide benchmarks and a blueprint this week for how New Jersey will reopen its economy, cautioned that New Jersey is still not ready to reopen, and he said it will take at least several weeks for the state to get there.
