COVID-19 cases are rapidly spreading throughout Jersey City. In the span of a few weeks, the city’s 7-day rolling average for new infections has more than doubled and it’s not uncommon to see daily confirmed cases in the hundreds.
To give residents a clearer picture of what areas are experiencing the most COVID-19 infections, city officials have added a new feature to the JC COVID-19 Dashboard that lets you view case numbers based on zip code.
“We want our residents to have as much information as possible into what we are seeing at the local level for Covid-19,” tweeted Mayor Steven Fulop. Based on the site’s data, Greenville has the most confirmed cases at 2,368. It’s followed by the Heights with 1,633.

COVID-19 testing expanded in Jersey City
Fulop is taking a multi-faceted approach to combat the rising number of coronavirus Jersey City cases. On one hand, the city is mailing over 1 million masks to residents to help with mask compliance. Officials are also increasing the number of COVID testing sites in Jersey City with new sites that will offer rapid testing (PDF link).
