On Thursday the New Jersey State Senate introduced a number of pieces of legislation to help the state cope with the growing coronavirus pandemic. Senators continue to stay active while also maintaining proper social distance this week. Lastly, social distancing measures and business closures in New Jersey appear to be working to slow the spread of the coronavirus, as the growth rate in positive cases declined from 24% on March 30th to a little over 12% on April 6th.
