The Camden County Department of Health is announcing 30 additional confirmed cases of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) in Camden County. This brings the aggregate number of confirmed positive cases to 10,230 in Camden County today and 569 total fatalities.
“We are experiencing slow but steady spread of this virus in our community. This is a marked improvement from where we were in April, but this pandemic still poses a significant risk to our community,” said Freeholder Director Louis Cappelli, Jr. “Our seven-day average of new cases has crept above 30 for the first time in nearly a month, likely due to relaxed precautions during the Labor Day holiday. If we are going to stop the spread of coronavirus and protect our circles, we cannot afford to take days off from wearing masks and social distancing. We all have a responsibility to keep our friends and neighbors safe.”
