The latest person screened for the coronavirus in New Jersey has tested negative, Gov. Phil Murphy’s office confirmed to NJ Advance Media on Tuesday.

The Garden State still has no confirmed cases of the virus that is spreading around the globe.

The person is not hospitalized and is “isolated at home,” said Alexandra Altman, a spokeswoman for Murphy’s office. No other details about the person — such as their sex, age, or location — were made public.

Altman stressed that the state will likely test more people after the federal Centers for Disease Control broadened the definition of those who are “under investigation” for the virus to include people with pneumonia that lacked an obvious cause.

“Most New Jersey residents are at low risk for novel coronavirus," Altman added. “If individuals are having symptoms, the illness is much more likely to be caused by common respiratory viruses such as flu or the common cold.”

Murphy announced Monday the person would be the ninth tested in New Jersey for the virus that causes the illness COVID-19.

All nine people tested in the state have come up negative for the virus, which has infected more than 92,000 people and killed more than 3,100 across the world. In the U.S, more than 100 people have been infected and nine have died as of Tuesday afternoon.

State officials said Monday that they’re projecting the virus will eventually spread to New Jersey. Neighboring New York on Tuesday confirmed its second case.

But Murphy stressed that the risk to average Americans is low and the state is “aggressively” working to protect residents.

Other people in New Jersey who are without symptoms and believed to be low-risk have self-quarantined, state officials said.

Plus, anyone hospitalized with pneumonia in the state with “no other explanatory diagnosis like the flu" will undergo testing for the coronavirus, Murphy said.

Officials also said the state is requesting more testing kits from the federal Centers for Disease Control. Testing is done at the state’s laboratories in West Trenton, and results are available within days.

New Jersey launched a website and telephone hotline — 1-800-222-1222 — to answer questions about the virus.
