Enteroviruses (EV) are common viruses; however, the EV strain identified as EV-D68 by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is causing severe illness in children in several states. The New Jersey Department of Health has laboratory-confirmed cases of the EV-D68 throughout the state. For an updated list of affected counties with confirmed EV-D68 cases visit www.nj.gov/health.
