Gov. Phil Murphy announced New Jersey's second death due to the coronavirus.
NEW JERSEY – Gov. Phil Murphy announced New Jersey's second death due to the coronavirus on Saturday evening.
The woman, who was in her 50s, was being treated at CentraState Medical Center in Monmouth County.
"Sad to announce our second death of an individual with #COVID19 – a female in her 50s who was being treated at @CentraState Medical Center in Monmouth County," Murphy announced on Twitter.
"Please wash your hands frequently and practice social distancing. We will get through this together."
Health Commissioner Judith Persichilli said the person may be connected to a family gathering in Monmouth County, where multiple people tested positive for the coronavirus, as well as the first fatal case that involved a man in Bergen County earlier this month.
The woman had a brother who was friends with the victim in Bergen County, Persichilli said. Read more: First NJ Coronavirus Death, 4 New Cases: Governor

How It Spreads
The virus that causes COVID-19 is spreading from person-to-person. Someone who is actively sick with COVID-19 can spread the illness to others. That is why CDC recommends that these patients be isolated either in the hospital or at home (depending on how sick they are) until they are better and no longer pose a risk of infecting others.
There is currently no vaccine for COVID-19.
While the best way to prevent illness is to avoid virus exposure, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention always recommends taking preventive actions to contain the spread of viruses. This includes:
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.
- Stay home when you are sick.
- Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.
- Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces using a regular household cleaning spray or wipes.
- Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after going to the bathroom, before eating, after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing.
