“The continuing outbreak of COVID-19 throughout the country is extremely concerning, even as New Jersey and Camden County maintain low rates of transmission and case growth,” said Freeholder Director Louis Cappelli, Jr. “Although our region has experienced a reprieve from the worst of this pandemic in recent weeks, we cannot lose sight of how dangerous this virus is or how quickly it can spread if we let our guards down. We must continue to wear masks and social distance. Please follow the governor’s travel advisory and quarantine if possible when returning from designated states.”
