Families and advocates lay blame on Gov. Murphy's policies for contributing to deaths.

Republicans, frustrated by a lack of bipartisan hearings, held their own panel discussion about what they see as the Murphy administration's failed response to keeping COVID-19 out of NJ long-term care facilities. Close to 8,000 have died, and several family members told the panel they blame the governor's early policy of readmitting COVID-positive residents to nursing homes.
