COURT HOUSE – May 31: Cape May County ended May by reporting three new COVID-19 cases, which all originate in Middle Township. It was the fourth straight day of low single-digit growth in cases.
Two of the new cases were residents of Middle Township long-term care facilities, and one was community-based.
The state long-term care report on the COVID-19 Dashboard now lists nine facilities in the county with at least one confirmed case. The two newest facilities in the state report are Oceana Rehabilitation and Nursing Center, with one resident testing positive, and Brookdale Cape May senior living facility, with three positive residents. Both are in Middle Township.
Total confirmed cases in the county now stand at 627, with 321 individuals off quarantine, 258 cases still active and 48 fatalities.
Today, the state reported 66 additional fatalities and 868 new positive tests. Total confirmed cases since the first in early March are 160,445, with 11,698 fatalities.
Hospitalization numbers continue to fall and stand at 2,469, of which 522 require intensive or critical care and 378 are using ventilators. Hospitals in the seven-county southern region are reporting 500 total COVID-19 patients, the lowest number since the state began to report hospitalization data on the regional acute care hospitals April 4.
Cape May – Governor Murphy says he doesn't know anything about the drones and doesn't know what they are doing but he does know that they are not dangerous. Does anyone feel better now?
