“One week ago, we saw 50 new cases in a single day, the highest number we’d seen in months. Just seven days later and that figure has doubled to nearly 100 new cases today,” said County Commissioner Director Louis Cappelli, Jr. “Every day we see stories of people in the hospital fighting for their lives against this virus because they didn’t get vaccinated. Universally, they regret that decision and plead for others to get their shot before it’s too late. Do not leave yourself vulnerable to a preventable disease – get vaccinated right away.”

 

To date, 304,898 Camden County residents have received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, while 278,212 are fully vaccinated. More information regarding vaccination rates throughout the county and available on the state’s COVID-19 dashboard at covid19.nj.gov.

 

The county Health Department is continuing to closely track new cases of COVID-19 and information regarding the prevalence of the Delta variant. New cases are often reassigned to other municipalities over the course of an investigation.
