TRENTON, N.J. (1010 WINS) -- New Jersey has now reported more than 200,000 positive COVID-19 test results, Gov. Phil Murphy said Monday.
Murphy on Monday reported 396 new COVID-19 cases, bringing the number of test results in the state that have come back positive to 200,154.
The governor also reported two new COVID-19 fatalities, pushing the state's death toll to 14,278. The state is currently investigating 1,791 probable COVID-19 deaths as well, he said.
New Jersey is currently testing "per capita, as much as virtually any state in America," Murphy said at a news briefing Monday afternoon.
"A few months ago we were begging folks to go out and get tested," he said. "We had the supply, but the demand wasn't keeping up with that."
As of Sunday, 349 people in the state were hospitalized with confirmed or probable COVID-19 cases, 87 of whom were in intensive care and 32 of whom were on ventilators, he said.
The state's positivity rate on Sept. 17 was 1.81 percent, and its rate of transmission on Sept. 19 was 1.12.
