The Camden County Department of Health (DOH) is announcing 59 additional confirmed cases of the disease. This brings the aggregate number of confirmed positive cases to 6,588 in Camden County today and 320 total fatalities.
“As we continue to mourn the residents lost to COVID, today offered a small glimmer of hope with only 59 confirmed cases. We have generally seen falling numbers over the past week dropping our growth rate to just over 1 percent,” said Freeholder Director Louis Cappelli, Jr. “As the weather warms up and access to testing continues to grow, we may see the rate fall under 1 percent, which would be a great milestone. Nevertheless, we cannot become complacent. Wear a mask when out in public, wash your hands and always remember to maintain a six-foot perimeter. These are the only tools we have at our disposal to stop the transmission of this virus and to end the pandemic.”
The Department of Health is announcing 59 additional positive cases of novel coronavirus (COVID-19) identified in Camden County. Trace investigations are being facilitated with the patients and remain ongoing.
Cappelli continued about some of the new benchmarks set by Governor Phil Murphy.
“I also want to applaud the governor for getting us one step closer to going back to work, by setting tangible dates for the reopening of day cares, summer camps and youth sports,” Cappelli said. “Nothing in the state can reopen unless families have a safe place to send their children as we slowly return to significantly different workplaces. I know Governor Murphy will be following the science and data that will guide us to a place where we can reacclimate ourselves – with safety standards and mitigation strategies in place – to a life we lived prior to the pandemic.
In addition, the county Department of Health is also announcing 1,119 confirmed resident cases and 382 confirmed staff cases have occurred out of the aggregate case load of 6,588 in our 56 long-term care facilities. At this current time 237 resident deaths and three staff deaths have been reported from these facilities out of our 320 total fatalities countywide.
