TOMS RIVER, NJ — The surge in coronavirus cases in recent days has brought with it a surge in the number of people seeking tests for COVID-19, which have become more difficult to get with the increased demand. From Dec. 17 to Monday, Ocean County has recorded nearly 4,500 new coronavirus infections, the highest numbers since the start of the pandemic, according to the Ocean County Health Department. Of those, 793 new cases were identified in Toms River residents, the county health department's database shows. The United States has faced a shortage of tests, with the more contagious omicron variant spreading and many getting tested to prepare for the holidays. President Joe Biden pledged Monday to ease the test shortage. The administration's steps will include using the Defense Production Act to increase production of at-home tests, but the president said federal efforts haven't gone far enough. "Seeing how tough it was for some folks to get a test this weekend shows that we have more work to do," Biden said on a call with his administration's COVID-19 response team and a group of governors. The New Jersey Department of Health also recently began offering free, at-home COVID-19 saliva test kits. UPS will ship the kit with next-day delivery, and a health care professional will virtually walk patients through the tests and answer questions. Find more info here.
