Health Commissioner Judy Persichilli noted — kids can suffer long term COVID impacts.
Gov. Phil Murphy announced that COVID has hospitalized 13 kids -- two of them in the ICU -- and he dared critics to scoff at those stats by calling them "only": "When they say “only” — they are saying they’re perfectly willing to accept children landing in the ICU or dying from COVID."
