Only 32 new coronavirus cases in CamCo

Majority of new cases centered in Camden City.

The Camden County Department of Health announced on Thursday 32 additional confirmed cases of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19). This brings the aggregate number of confirmed positive cases to 6,944 in Camden County today and 343 total fatalities.

Trace investigations are being facilitated with the patients and remain ongoing.

“Although we know the threat of this virus remains extremely real and incredibly deadly, I am happy to announce no new deaths caused by COVID-19 today in Camden County,” said Freeholder Director Louis Cappelli, Jr.

“For seven consecutive days we have now seen fewer than 100 new cases of coronavirus in our county. This incredible progress is entirely the product of our residents and their commitment to social distancing and other public health measures. Around the world, however, this virus is continuing spread and new cases are increasing, underscoring the reality that we have not defeated this invisible enemy. We must continue to take precautions and carefully follow the advice of public health experts so that we can avoid another deadly spike.”

In addition, the county Department of Health is also announcing 1,187 confirmed resident cases and 443 staff cases have occurred out of the aggregate case load of 6,944 in our 56 long-term care facilities. At this time, 255 resident deaths have been reported from these facilities, as well as three staff deaths, out of our 343 total fatalities countywide.
