The Camden County Department of Health is announcing 36 additional confirmed cases of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) in Camden County. This brings the aggregate number of confirmed positive cases to 10,343 in Camden County today and 574 total fatalities.
“Today marks our fifth consecutive day with more than 30 new cases of COVID-19, the most we have seen in more than a month,” said Freeholder Director Louis Cappelli, Jr. “Thanks to the hard work of thousands of residents, it can feel like this pandemic is subsiding, but weeks like this make clear that this deadly virus is still extremely active in our community. If we let our guards down, it will spread rapidly, which is why we have to continue to wear masks, social distance, and do everything in our power to protect our circles.”
