HOBOKEN, NJ — The city of Hoboken released data this week showing that while COVID deaths and hospitalizations have waned drastically from a year and two years ago — with vaccination rates at 98 percent for residents 30 and over — the virus is still a factor.

COVID hospitalizations have risen 18 percent nationwide in the last two weeks, said Becker's Hospital Review.

In the seven-day period from April 16-22, there were 116 positive cases reported in Hoboken. From April 23-29, there were 137.

There have been a total of 10,854 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Hoboken since the start of the pandemic. Hoboken has had a total of 64 COVID fatalities.

The city said, "Cases are associated with schools, day cares, social gatherings, travel, and work. Our regional COVID Activity Level Index (CALI) score is currently Moderate Risk."
