Further, Dimagi’s CommCare system, the information technology platform the state mandated for those health departments, won’t be ready until around the end of June. Once up and running, the system will allow state officials to coordinate contact tracing efforts with New York and other states across the Northeast.

“We hope to begin supplying local health departments with additional trained contact tracers by mid-June,” said Persichilli, reiterating her call on May 12 for multilingual and culturally diverse candidates to enable health officials to investigate cases in every New Jersey community. On Wednesday, Murphy said he was optimistic that continued improvements in the daily report of new cases and Covid-19 hospital census may soon allow him to safely lift restrictions on day care, summer camps and youth athletic leagues.

The number of new cases being reported each day is continuing to fall, even as the development of new types of Covid-19 tests, coupled with the rollout of 160-plus testing sites supported by public and private entities ranging from Walmart to the Federal Emergency Management Agency, has boosted the state’s testing capacity.
