NJ Spotlight News: January 5, 2021

Описание: It was a rocky start Tuesday for the state’s launch of a new online portal to pre-register for coronavirus vaccines. The state Department of Health says the high volume of users caused error messages and slowed down the system. The portal is open to the general public, but given the interest, the department is asking residents to limit registration for health care workers in the 1A category who’ve yet to be immunized.

The state reported another 5,400 new positive cases of COVID-19. A total of 499,636 positive cases have now been reported in the Garden State with 138 additional deaths -- the highest single-day fatality count in roughly 7 months.
