Growth in Plainfield's COVID-19 cases. |
New Jersey case growth (through Thursday). |
While the Mapp Administration has been assiduous about releasing the latest Coronavirus case figures on an almost daily basis, several readers have asked for figures on the growth of the pandemic virus in Plainfield.
The chart above is based on the numbers released by the Mapp administration. The very first case was reported on March 16. No other cases were reported until March 24, which is where the chart starts.
For comparison, I am putting up the New Jersey chart (to 4/8/20). State authorities have said they expect the number of cases to peak in the next day or two.
The chart does not show hospitalizations or individuals who have been quarantined.
The fact that Plainfield's numbers did not peak even higher can be attributed to the public's cooperation with the shelter-in-place order by Gov. Murphy and other safety measures (such as masks).
Now is not the time to ease up on any of these measures.
