Ocean County Positive Covid-19 Case Total Is 5,560
The amount of positive Covid-19 coronavirus cases in Ocean County has risen to 5,560 in the latest tally Friday Afternoon by the Ocean County Health Department which includes 194 new cases.
Lakewood has 1,530 of the 5,560 cases in Ocean County.
Toms River has the second most with 943, Brick has 729 cases.
Ocean County will continue to provide coronavirus tests to residents at the Ocean County College drive thru test site next week.
To date there have been 2,574 coronavirus tests administered at the college as of April 23.
“The college operations have gone smoothly, the traffic flow is good and we are doing well there,” Ocean County Public Health Coordinator Dan Regenye said in a statement.
Regenye said the testing requirements continue to remain the same. Test appointments will continue to be held on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays and are scheduled in advance for Ocean County residents. The college site will continue to operate 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., three days a week, weather permitting.
“Because of the limited number of tests we have, it remains imperative that people follow the requirements to be tested at the college,” Regenye said. “We do not want anyone to show up at this testing site without following the requirements we have put in place. We are not going to do any health screenings at the site. It is just for testing for the virus.”

Here are some news and notes regarding the Coronavirus impacts in Ocean County:
- The first case of the coronavirus to reach Ocean County was confirmed in Manchester Township when a 72-year old man contracted the disease.
- Ocean County Emergency Management and Ocean County Health Department officials are continuing to meet daily to not only address the ongoing pandemic but be prepared for any future events.
- As the amount of positive coronavirus cases continue to rise in New Jersey, Police Chiefs in Ocean County are coming up with alternate response methods to keep officers safe as well as residents.
- Jersey Shore Congressman Chris Smith (R - 4th District) announced that there is more than $4.5 million in emergency funding being awarded to local governments in New Jersey's Fourth Congressional District via the CARES Act which will help areas stabilize and recover from the economic impacts of the coronavirus pandemic.
- Ocean County State Senator Jim Holzapfel (R), Assemblyman Greg McGuckin (R) and Assemblyman John Catalano (R) are working with the NJ State Police Fraternal Association to collect desperately needed masks and other personal protective equipment to protect first responders and health care workers during the coronavirus crisis.
Ocean County Public Health Coordinator Dan Regenye said that if you experience symptoms such as a fever, dry cough or have difficulty breathing, start by remaining calm, then call your primary care physician, insurance company and even the Ocean County Health Department.
"If they do experience any of these symptoms the major thing is not to panic but to stay informed and contact their health care provider if they have any concerns," Regenye said. "If they're working with us, and we're either self-monitoring or we're working with them to be tested...if their symptoms get worse, we would ask them not to present themselves at the hospital or their physicians office. Work with us and we'll get you to the proper level of care with the proper notice to those establishments so you can get the proper level of treatment that's needed."
