TRENTON, N.J. (AP) - New Jersey’s six mass-capacity COVID-19 vaccination sites will remain closed on Tuesday due to the winter storm, New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy said.

The facilities closed Monday because of the snow and wind across the state and region.

New Jersey has opened what it calls megasites in Atlantic, Bergen, Burlington, Gloucester, Middlesex and Morris counties.

The Democratic governor said the Morris facility has rescheduled vaccinations to Wednesday, while the Atlantic and Middlesex sites moved to Thursday. The Bergen, Burlington, and Gloucester sites were set to be closed Monday anyway.

Murphy urged people to contact the vaccination call center, which remains open, with any questions. The phone number is 855-568-0545

Murphy also reported that nearly 800,000 people had been vaccinated as of Monday. There were 34 new deaths from the disease overnight, putting the total at 19,384.

The seven-day rolling average of daily new cases in New Jersey fell over the past two weeks, from 6,056 new cases a day on Jan. 17 to 4,860 new cases per day on Sunday.
