Confirmed cases soar in latest CamCo count

County records highest single-day total, and highest seven-day average in new coronavirus cases, since the middle of summer.

The Camden County Department of Health reported 84 additional confirmed cases of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) in Camden County on Friday. This brings the aggregate number of confirmed positive cases to 11,091 in Camden County today and 559 total fatalities.

“This is the most cases, and the highest seven-day average of cases, we have seen since late July,” said Freeholder Director Louis Cappelli, Jr.

“As we have said all week, now is the time to reduce your possible exposures to this virus, do not wait until we are in the midst of uncontrolled viral activity to take extra steps. We do not know if this is the start of a second wave, a larger spike, or merely a momentary increase in cases, however these sudden shifts underscore the volatility of the crisis we are navigating. Wear a mask, social distance, and do everything in your power to protect our circle so we can get back to normal.”

Trace investigations are being facilitated with the patients and remain ongoing.

In addition, the county Department of Health is also announcing 1,496 confirmed resident cases and 613 staff cases have occurred out of the aggregate case load of 11,091 in our 56 long-term care facilities. At this time, 329 resident deaths have been reported from these facilities, as well as three staff deaths, out of our 559 total fatalities countywide.
