TRENTON, N.J. — New Jersey's drive thru testing sites for COVID-19 will first prioritize "symptomatic" health care workers and first responders, state Health Commissioner Judith Persichilli said Wednesday.

The first site in Paramus on the campus of Bergen County Community College will go live Friday. Persichilli says it can collect 2,500 specimens per week.

There's a second site planned for the PNC Bank Arts Center in Holmdel. Gov. Phil Murphy both said they hoped it would be open "in a matter of days."

There are 427 cases in New Jersey to date. Five people have died.
