“This insidious virus continues to take a devastating toll in long-term care facilities throughout our community. My heart is broken by the thought of the families who lost loved ones without being able to visit them or to gather with their families to mourn,” said Freeholder Director Louis Cappelli, Jr.

“Today marks one of the largest reported death tolls since this pandemic began, while at the same time seeing a relatively low new case count. This underscores the reality that we face as we combat COVID-19. Even as we begin to contain its spread, vulnerable populations face a far greater risk of serious complications. This is why we cannot rush to reopen or return to normal life. We must continue to social distance and stay home in order to save lives.”

The Department of Health is also announcing 70 additional positive cases of novel coronavirus (COVID-19) identified in Camden County. Trace investigations are being facilitated with the patients and remain ongoing.

In addition, the county Department of Health is also announcing 519 confirmed cases have occurred out of the aggregate case load of 2,662 in our 56 long-term care facilities. At this current time 83 deaths have been reported from these facilities from our 118 total fatalities countywide.
