“Our thoughts and prayers are with the victim and his family, and we are wishing all those battling this virus a fast and full recovery,” said Freeholder Director Louis Cappelli, Jr.
“With so much uncertainty ahead, remember that you can help to control how the spread of this virus speeds or slows. Wear a mask, social distance, avoid indoor gatherings, and work with our contact tracing team when they call. Taking these simple steps will help us to avoid a crisis at the scale of what we faced in the spring and get us through the coming months with a much smaller impact.”
