Camden County's rate of new COVID-19 cases continues to be far below last month's rates.

The Camden County Department of Health is announcing 34 additional confirmed cases of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) in Camden County. This brings the aggregate number of confirmed positive cases to 48,922 in Camden County today and 1,190 total fatalities.

“The rate of new COVID-19 cases confirmed in the county continues to be far below what we were seeing a month ago, hopefully signaling that we have finally turned a corner in this crisis,” said County Commissioner Director Louis Cappelli, Jr. “The only way we can maintain this progress over the long term is for everyone to get vaccinated. If you haven’t gotten your shot yet, do not wait any longer. Our team is out in the community and working with patients at the vaccination center in Blackwood. The sooner you get protected, the sooner you, and our entire community, can get back to normal.”

The Department of Health is announcing 34 additional positive cases of novel coronavirus (COVID-19) identified in Camden County. Trace investigations are being facilitated with the patients and remain ongoing.
