TRENTON, New Jersey (WPVI) -- New Jersey governor Phil Murphy just announced millions of dollars in funding for 12 counties in the state to combat COVID-19.

The 12 counties selected were not eligible for prior federal coronavirus relief funding, because their populations are below 500 thousand.
The governor said the first $15 million dispersed will reimburse counties for their coronavirus-related expenses to date.
