And that number is only going to increase, Gov. Phil Murphy said.

"As the testing regime expands, we’re going to see these numbers go up in a big way," he said. "We are getting a clearer and better sense of how far the coronavirus has already spread.”

Here's a list of coronavirus testing sites in New Jersey:

Officials are urging New Jersey residents to keep these testing sites open to those who need it saying that if you feel okay, stay home and rest.
