A new variant of COVID has been discovered in New Jersey, according to the CDC
The SARS-CoV-2 variant BA.3.2 was first identified in South Africa on November 22, 2024. BA.3.2 has approximately 70–75 substitutions and deletions in the gene sequence of the spike protein relative to JN.1 and its descendant, LP.8.1, the antigens used in the 2025–26 COVID-19 vaccines. CDC is using a multimodal SARS-CoV-2 genomic surveillance approach to monitor the emergence and spread of BA.3.2 and other SARS-CoV-2 variants internationally and within the United States. The first U.S. BA.3.2 detection occurred on June 27, 2025, through CDC’s Traveler-Based Genomic Surveillance program in a participant traveling to the United States from the Netherlands. The first U.S. detection of BA.3.2 in a clinical specimen collected from a patient was reported on January 5, 2026. As of February 11, 2026, BA.3.2 had been detected in voluntarily self-collected nasal swabs from four U.S. travelers, clinical samples from five patients, three airplane wastewater samples, and 132 wastewater surveillance samples from 25 states. BA.3.2 has been reported by at least 23 countries. SARS-CoV-2 continues to cause substantial morbidity and mortality worldwide. BA.3.2 mutations in the spike protein have the potential to reduce protection from a previous infection or vaccination. Continued genomic surveillance is needed to track SARS-CoV-2 evolution and determine its potential effect on public health.

A child walks into the Deerfield Street Post Office, spots Spider-Man on the wall, and immediately points in excitement. Nearby, Elvis Presley and Marilyn Monroe look on while SpongeBob SquarePants greets customers near the counter.
It’s not the kind of scene most people expect when they stop in to mail a package.
But at the small post office located at 1542 Route 77 in Upper Deerfield, NJ, a routine errand has quietly become something a little more memorable for the local community.
Cooper Medical School of Rowan University (CMSRU), in partnership with the Latino Medical Student Association CMSRU Chapter and Cooper University Health Care, will host a free community “Spring into Health” Health Fair open to the Camden community.

The bald eagle population in New Jersey experienced a slight decline in active nests last year likely due to the impacts of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza, according to the annual New Jersey Bald Eagle Project Report released today.

The report, developed by NJDEP Fish & Wildlife with the Conserve Wildlife Foundation of New Jersey, identified 251 nests that produced eggs in 2025, a five percent decrease from 2024, when a record 264 active nests were documented
“The Department of Environmental Protection’s work to restore New Jersey’s bald eagle population has been so remarkable that the species, once on the brink of extirpation in New Jersey, was removed from the state’s endangered species list last year,” said Acting DEP Commissioner Ed Potosnak. “This success, made possible with the support of countless volunteers over the years, is proof that DEP can deliver against seemingly insurmountable odds. This slight decline in active nests reminds us that we must remain steadfast in our efforts to protect bald eagles for future generations to admire.”
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) extends our warmest congratulations to the Honorable Markwayne Mullin on his confirmation by the Senate as our new Secretary of Homeland Security.
President Trump promised the American people a new Golden Age of Travel, and under Secretary Mullin’s direction, TSA will continue to deliver on that promise.
Nothing says spring in Philly quite like the bursts of pink and white cherry blossoms in Fairmount Park.
