Most parks in New Jersey will be closed in a measure aimed at slowing the spread of the CCP virus.

The CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, commonly known as novel coronavirus, causes a disease called COVID-19 that kills a small percentage of patients, primarily among the elderly and those with pre-existing conditions.
