NJ Releases Town-By-Town Fatalities Amid Coronavirus Crisis

NEW JERSEY – The coronavirus has hard a strong impact on New Jersey's communities since the outbreak first hit in mid-March. Now the state Department of Health has released data that may show how badly they've all suffered amid the crisis.

The DOH released released town-by-town fatality data this week, citing a sizable increase deaths in most New Jersey communities as the coronavirus outbreak hit the Garden State hard in March through August.

The data is for deaths regardless of the cause, but Health Commissioner Judith Persichilli said they do show that the coronavirus definitely had a big impact on the overall numbers. As the state continues to reveal new cases, she said, the outbreak will continue to have an impact and warrant the need to urge continued precautions.

"As tired as we all are from battling the pandemic, we have to continue to take precautions," she said. "It's going to take time and perseverance."

Indeed, the data shows the average number of overall deaths from March through August in 2018 and 2019 and compared it to the same time period for 2020.

Statewide, the number of overall deaths increased by a startling 42.9 percent.

Exactly how many of those are coronavirus-related has not been confirmed yet. As of Thursday, New Jersey reported 14,335 confirmed COVID-19 deaths, but there are another 1,787 fatalities that are probably connected to the pandemic. Read more: NJ Coronavirus Updates: Here's What You Need To Know

The number of people who died in New Jersey from March through August 2020 was 52,324, compared to 36,336 in 2019 and 36,899 in 2018.

The DOH released the numbers after both Gov. Phil Murphy and Persichilli said they believe in transparency and promised to release more specific data that showed how the virus has more directed impacted New Jersey residents.

Murphy said the public needs to understand that the numbers may remain high for the foreseeable future if the state's upward trend of daily coronavirus cases continues, and if there is a second wave of the virus.

This past week, New Jersey has had some of its highest daily case numbers since June, peaking over 700 several times for the first time in three months.

"The memories and the pain felt by those left behind should be what spurs us to fight against this pandemic," Murphy said. "We are not out of the woods yet."

Indeed, New Jersey's coronavirus data reporting has been, at times, chaotic.

Most counties release specific coronavirus case and fatality data, but others do not. Many towns also release their own data, but it often conflicts with what's released by county health departments. Patch provided its own list as of Aug. 30th. Read more: Latest Release, Ranking Of Town-By-Town NJ Coronavirus Cases, Fatalities

The data also shows that the state's most likely hotspots – such as Bergen County, which suffered the worst effects of the outbreak initially – were not necessarily the most severely impacted over the duration of the crisis.

Small-to-medium size towns such as Chatham and Barnegat Light had increases in fatalities that were 100 percent or higher during the March-to-August timeframe.

Nursing homes have been especially hit hard by the coronavirus. Several nursing homes, including Forest Manor Health Care Center, Warren Haven Rehabilitation and Nursing Center and the Clover Rest Home, are located in the area of Hope Township, which had the largest increase in fatalities from 2018-19 to 2020: 500 percent.

New Jersey, however, has not been listing cases or deaths at nursing homes lately unless there is an outbreak. So it's not clear if the township was directly impacted by outbreaks at long-term care facilities. Read more: NJ Coronavirus Nursing Home Deaths Double As Murphy Pushes Fix
