The coronavirus has devastated New Jersey’s four psychiatric hospitals — with 240 cases and five fatalities, according to data released by state officials over the weekend.

The virus has spread like wildfire at the Trenton Psychiatric Hospital — a 400-bedroom facility with 81 employees and 23 patients that have tested positive for the virus. One patient has died.

There are still 153 pending cases at the facility, reported nj.com.

At the Garden State’s largest psychiatric hospital, Ancora Psychiatric Hospital in Camden County, 16 employees and nine patients tested positive for coronavirus, officials said. The facility had 289 patients.

At Parsippany’s Greystone Park Psychiatric Hospital in Morris County — which had a total of 339 patients on Friday — 44 employees and 30 patients tested positive for COVID-19. Of those, four patients died, reported the Trentonian.

At the Ann Klein Forensic Center in Trenton, nine patients and six workers were COVID-19-positive.

Anonymous Trent Pych employees launched a petition at change.org demanding the CEO allow non-essential employees to work remotely after they accused the administration of failing to contain the spread of the virus.

“There should be an audit on what went wrong at TPH: was it power & control; slow reactivity; lack of PPE; lack of transparency to employees/patients; not properly following CDC guidelines; and/or lack of management emergency response skills,” says the petition.

Letters sent to NJ Media revealed Ancora employees weren’t equipped with PPE and were discouraged from wearing masks “because it would scare patients,” reported nj.com. Greystone Park employees also said the lack of PPE made them “fearful for their lives,” reported nj.com.

As of Sunday, over 60,000 people have tested positive for the coronavirus in New Jersey and 2,350 people died.
