Since the pandemic's onset, the City of Hoboken has had 9,453 known, confirmed cases of COVID-19.  
 
Unfortunately, the City has lost another two residents to COVID-19, a man in his late 30s and a man in his early 80s. I offer my sympathies to their family and friends and I keep them in my thoughts during this difficult time. The City has had a total of 61 fatalities since the pandemic began.
 
Hoboken University Medical Center currently has 16 patients hospitalized with COVID-19 and 4 are Hoboken residents. Of these residents, 2 are vaccinated.
