“Camden County residents have demonstrated that they can do what it takes to stop the spread of this disease. I know that these sacrifices are not easy to make, but I’m proud of this community and the resiliency it continues to show in the face of this pandemic. If we continue to wear masks, social distance, and work with contact tracers, we will win this war.”
