“We are deeply saddened to announce the deaths of seven Camden County residents today. Please join us in sending your thoughts and prayers to the families of those affected as this virus continues to wreak havoc in our community,” said Freeholder Director Louis Cappelli, Jr. “As we approach this weekend, typically marked with visits to the shore and trips with friends and family, I want to once again ask that everyone please continue to take this threat seriously. We know that there is a delay between our actions and when their impacts become visible in our case data. If we let our guard down now, we likely will not know the effect until June, and we will lose precious time in the intervening weeks as the virus potentially regains a foothold among us. We must continue to exercise social distancing and follow public health guidance in order to break the back of this virus and minimize the loss of life in our community.”
