(Gloucester Township, NJ) – The Camden County Department of Health is announcing 46 additional confirmed cases of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) in Camden County. This brings the aggregate number of confirmed positive cases to 10,076 in Camden County today and 568 total fatalities.
“We do not know what the next stage of the pandemic will bring, but we know that our actions can directly impact the spread of this virus,” said Freeholder Director Louis Cappelli, Jr. “Our understanding of COVID-19 is still in its infancy, but we have come a long way in understanding how to mitigate the spread of the disease. If we continue to wear masks, social distance, and work with contact tracers, we will minimize the impact of the pandemic on our community moving forward. If we reject these commonsense measures, we will have a much tougher stretch ahead of us.”
The Department of Health is announcing 46 additional positive cases of novel coronavirus (COVID-19) identified in Camden County. Trace investigations are being facilitated with the patients and remain ongoing.
