New Jersey: Long-term-care historical data

When reports no data, several days of data, or unusual data (such as decreases in values that should increase), our volunteers note it here on the date the anomaly occurred. We also note here changes in our own methodology that affect the data.

New Jersey reports long-term care data for Assisted Living Facilities and Long-Term Care Facilities, Healthcare Facilities, Congregate Living and Community Settings. The state reports cumulative and current outbreak data for cases and deaths. Case and death data is split by staff and residents. Death data include probable and laboratory confirmed COVID-19 cases. Data is cumulative since May 7. New Jersey reports that outbreaks are considered concluded when there are no probable or confirmed COVID-19 cases after 28 days pass since the last case’s onset date or specimen collection date, whichever is latest. And if new COVID-19 positive cases are reported in a long-term care facility after this time, it would be considered a new outbreak. New Jersey reports facility-level data.
