As of this morning, @UnivHospNewark has only 3 coronavirus patients in our entire hospital, down from a high of over 300 during the worst of this.
@NJGov is doing this right.
Please keep at it.

- The @USNavy @BlueAngels just flew over @UnivHospNewark to honor front-line heroes across New Jersey. An amazing display of gratitude and patriotism from the best pilots on earth. Thank you.
00:00 - What a historic moment this morning. A milestone for public health when Maritza Beniquez, in her words, a proud Latina American nurse hero, got the first #COVID19 vaccine in NJ. And @GovMurphy was standing right beside her here at @UnivHospNewark. Will never forget it.

- We lost a great one at @UnivHospNewark. Kim King-Smith was a hero- an EKG technician on the night shift who passed yesterday from complications of #COVIDー19. Family says her smile was “more infectious than the virus that took her life.” All of UH, and @NJGov, will miss you.
