New Jersey is poised to ship medical supplies to two other states, a sign that despite continued infections and deaths, the tide is beginning to turn in the Garden State as it battles the new coronavirus.

Gov. Phil Murphy said Wednesday that his state would send 50 ventilators to Massachusetts and 200,000 masks to New York, which is the only state with a higher number of COVID-19 cases than New Jersey.

The state also is partnering with the New Jersey manufacturing extension program to make medical masks and gowns, Murphy said.

New Jersey on Wednesday reported 2,481 new cases of COVID-19, taking the state total to at least 116,264 infections. In addition, 6,770 people have died.

Despite those numbers, the rate of daily infections and deaths has decreased, Murphy said.

“It is clearly beginning to head in the right direction,” the governor said of his state’s efforts to contain the virus.

Here are all the cases in our area in which people have tested positive for the new coronavirus, based on state and county health department data. This list will be updated.

Philadelphia

Philadelphia, the hardest-hit county in Pennsylvania, announced 358 new diagnoses of COVID-19 Wednesday, taking its case count to 13,803. There were 25 additional deaths announced, bringing the total death toll in the city to 541.

"It's still looking like we are past the peak of the epidemic and declining, but that decline is unfortunately very slow," Farley said.

Even the number of newly announced deaths per day seems to be trending downward, he said. "That certainly would be very good news," he said.

The city is beginning the process of closing a field hospital it had opened in Temple University's Liacouras Center. No more patients will be admitted there, and the few who are there now will be discharged over then next 14 days.

The city also is opening five new testing sites. For information about who qualifies for testing and how to contact the sites, click here.
