Friday’s biggest news as New Jersey battles the spread of the coronavirus is the third and fourth patients in the state have tested positive for the virus.

Officials said a man in his 60s, a resident of Camden County, tested positive and is hospitalized in stable condition at Jefferson Health in Cherry Hill. He became the third case. The fourth person to test positive is a man in his 50s, hospitalized at Englewood Hospital and Medical Center. He is the third Bergen County patient with COVID-19.

Also, please stop making your own hand sanitizer. Or relying on hand sanitizer, really. Despite the internet-viral recipes for DIY Purell, the CDC would much rather we all just wash our hands.

The agency recommends “washing hands with soap and water whenever possible because handwashing reduces the amounts of all types of germs and chemicals on hands" — and to only use hand sanitizer (and a formula with at least 60% alcohol) if soap and water are unavailable.

Here are the latest facts about New Jersey’s first cases of the newest coronavirus strain, known as COVID-19, along with updates on the number of confirmed cases and deaths across the U.S.
