New Jersey officials said additional hospital beds are being added as the number of coronavirus cases in the state increased Wednesday by 162, for a total of 427. Two additional deaths were reported, bringing the total number in the state to five.

And as the number of cases continue to grow, so does the concern about the health care system, Health Commissioner Judith Persichilli said. The state has identified additional capacity that can be brought online, she said during the daily COVID-19 update.
