At least eight people died from the coronavirus at a New Jersey nursing home, and many others there have contracted the bug, officials announced Monday.

The outbreak is at the Lakeland Nursing Home in Wanaque, Passaic County, Mayor Dan Mahler said in a letter to local residents obtained by WNBC.

Mahler said he got word of the deaths Sunday morning.

The center is now on lockdown and those infected are being treated on-site, according to the mayor.

Another nursing home in the same town has seen 10 people infected with COVID-19, but no deaths, Mahler added.

“These outbreaks at the nursing homes were likely the result of one person at each facility who was unknowingly exposed to the COVID-19 virus either visiting a patient or going to work,” he told residents.

New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy said Monday he has asked the state health commissioner to provide all necessary aid to the town and the nursing home, according to the report.

Last week, all 94 residents of the St. Joseph’s Senior Home in Woodbridge were evacuated after 24 tested positive for the virus, with the other 70 are considered “presumptive positive,” the network reported.

The infection also made its way into the Pleasant View Nursing Home in Mount Airy, Maryland, where 66 people tested positive and one resident — a man in his 90s with underlying health conditions — succumbed to the illness Saturday, FOX Baltimore reported.

“Carroll County is now, unfortunately, on the map,” Steve Wantz, the president of the Carroll County Board of Commissioners said at a Sunday news conference, according to the report. “Unlike the map that we’d like to be on, let’s be clear.”

The outbreak is “relatively contained” within the single nursing home, county health officer Ed Singer told reporters.

The Life Care Center nursing home in the Seattle suburb of Kirkland became an early epicenter for coronavirus in the US.
