13TH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT AFRICAN-AMERICAN DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS issued the following announcement on May 22.
The number of New Jersey coronavirus patients in critical care dropped below 1,000 for the first time since early April, and progress in slowing the spread of the virus also strengthened in Pennsylvania, where Gov. Tom Wolf cleared the real estate industry to resume in-person activity statewide, including in counties that have not yet moved into the first phase of reopening.
Pennsylvania also revealed new data Tuesday on coronavirus cases and deaths in long-term-care facilities, and reported the state’s first confirmed pediatric death. A child who was not a Pennsylvania resident died of the coronavirus in the commonwealth, said Health Secretary Rachel Levine, who reported 119 deaths Tuesday, bringing the state’s total to 4,624, and 610 newly confirmed cases, meaning 63,666 Pennsylvanians have tested positive in total.

“We do consider this a very positive trend,” Levine said of the commonwealth’s decreasing new case counts. “We have been successful in terms of continuing to bend ... the curve.”
The numbers “are quite encouraging” in Philadelphia, too, said Public Health Commissioner Thomas Farley.
