The New Jersey Department of Health said the facility has been told not to accept new patients until the outbreak ends, and it’s carrying out an outbreak investigation.
Adenoviruses can cause mild to severe respiratory illness, and people with weakened immune systems or respiratory or cardiac disease are at higher risk.
