“Our country continues to see increased cases and hospitalizations as the coronavirus continues to devastate communities from coast to coast,” said Freeholder Director Louis Cappelli, Jr. “If you travel to a state with an ongoing outbreak it is imperative that you quarantine when you return home. Wearing masks and social distancing stops the spread of COVID-19, but only if we reduce our mobility and the risk that the virus is brought back to our region. Camden County residents have done an incredible job combatting this pandemic, but our fight is a long way from over.”
