MORRIS COUNTY, NJ — Morris County continued its upward path of new cases, averaging 64.1 per day over the past week. But what does that mean for each town? (See town-by-town data below.)

Hospitalizations remain low compared to their totals earlier this year, but they're rising. In North Jersey, 313 people remain hospitalized — up from 122 on July 5 but significantly lower than the usual total of around 1,600 last winter.
