Newark police officer Tolbert A. Furr, 59, died due to complications with the coronavirus on Friday at Clara Maass Medical Center, Newark Public Safety Director Anthony F. Ambrose announced.
Special Police Officer Furr, who was also a resident of the city, served as a Newark cop for 25 years, according to Ambrose.
“The City of Newark grieves collectively with the family of Special Police Officer Furr,” Newark Mayor Ras Baraka said in a statement. “This is a loss that touches us all.”
As of March 31, 163 police officers statewide have tested positive for COVID-19.
“On behalf of the entire Department of Public Safety, Chief of Police Darnell Henry and I extend our deepest condolences to Officer Furr’s family," Ambrose said. "He will be remembered with distinction for his longstanding commitment and service to our residents.”
Furr’s death adds to the rising total of coronavirus-related fatalities in New Jersey. Gov. Phil Murphy announced 113 new deaths on Friday, bringing the state’s total to 646. The state also reported 4,372 new cases, and at least 29,895 people have tested positive for the coronavirus in New Jersey.

Edit: it’s limited to people who show symptoms.

NEWARK, NJ — Newark officials are rolling out a new initiative in an attempt to get people to stay home and slow the spread of the new coronavirus: "Be Still Mondays."
Earlier this week, Mayor Ras Baraka announced the city will launch its first Be Still Monday on April 13. Events will continue each week until May 11.
According to city officials, Be Still Mondays aren't an executive order – like the ones Baraka and Gov. Phil Murphy have issued recently. Instead, they're a "request" that discourages all businesses except for health, safety and welfare emergency services to close.
The city would like businesses deemed "essential" by prior executive orders, such as food stores and pharmacies, to also close, as well as downtown corporations and manufacturing companies, Baraka stated.
"We want to shut down the whole city," Baraka said. "We're sending out letters to all businesses asking them to close. We are saying if you're not a cop or a fireman or a nurse, or other frontline medical workers, stay home."
There are some exemptions, officials said. For example, businesses that provide food and shelter for the homeless population may operate. However, the city is asking soup kitchens to limit their operations from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m.
As of Sunday morning, there have been 2,669 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Newark, with 132 deaths linked to the disease, according to Essex County officials.
FREE FACE MASKS
On Friday, Newark police – with Baraka's aid – spearheaded an effort to hand out about 1,200 free face masks to local residents.
Acting on the CDC's recent recommendation, Newark officials are asking residents to wear face masks or cloth coverings when they go out in public or visit local stores for essential shopping.
"Unfortunately, we can't provide a mask to everyone in Newark, but hopefully this will help some and encourage others to wear face covers," Public Safety Director Anthony Ambrose said.
