As the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic continues, New Jersey has become one of the hardest hit areas in the country. And while the bulk of positive cases in the state are concentrated near the Greater New York City area, South Jersey has seen its share of cases and thus changes to our everyday lives are being implemented in a cautious effort to keep us healthy and safe. (To see cases by county, visit here.)
