The 10-day lockdown in Newark appears to have been effective. According to Mayor Ras Baraka, the surge of COVID-19 cases in his city would be far worse if not for the restrictions he adopted.
City data shows that cases of COVID-19 spiked to an all-time high just as the order was ending Dec. 3, and have since significantly dropped. Now, the mayor may urge Gov. Phil Murphy to consider similar measures. Correspondent Michael Hill reports.
