Monmouth County Positive Coronavirus Cases Climbs To 1,033

Monmouth County Freeholder Director Tom Arnone and Freeholder Deputy Director Sue Kiley have announced the new positive cases of COVID-19 in Monmouth County bringing the total to 1,033 overall as of Monday evening.

Middletown has the most cases for any town with 103, Freehold Township has 90 and Marlboro has 78 cases.

“While this number is undoubtedly high, it is important to note that Monmouth County continues to move down on the list of New Jersey counties with the most cases, and is now seventh. I want to thank everyone who is doing their part in this fight against COVID-19 and practicing social distancing," Monmouth County Freeholder Director Tom Arnone said. “The fact that Monmouth County went from having the third highest number of positive cases out of the 21 counties last week, to the seventh highest this week, is a testament to the effectiveness of social distancing. I urge everyone to continue to help slow the spread of COVID-19 by practicing social distancing and staying home when sick.”
