While New Jersey officials haven’t offered specific guidance on when a surge could occur, state Health Commissioner Judith Persichilli said believes it could happen as soon as 21 days from now
New Jersey officials have been slow to set an exact timeline for when they project the state’s already overburdened health system will experience a surge in coronavirus-related hospitalizations.
Though the New Jersey totals pale in comparison to those in New York, where there are 30,811 known cases, including 17,856 in New York City, the Garden State has the second highest number of cases in the nation. New Jersey’s proximity and shared transportation network with New York City contributed to the virus’ spread through its northern counties in the early days of the pandemic.
“We’ll have something for you very quickly on that,” she said, later adding that while projections are good, she’s more concerned with what she’s hearing from health care workers on the ground. “We’re also seeing some strain in the northern counties, particularly around critical care.” The first pop-up site will be at the Meadowlands Exposition Center. Others will open at the New Jersey Convention and Exposition Center in Edison and the Atlantic City Convention Center. The site of the fourth hospital is still being determined.
