“Hospitalizations in our region continue to increase and we see similar trends playing out across the country amid this new wave,” said County Commissioner Director Louis Cappelli, Jr.

“Unlike previous waves, we have the tools to stop this one in its tracks. If everyone gets vaccinated, we can end this surge in cases and put this pandemic behind us. Don’t wait any longer, get your shot before it’s too late.”

To date, 321,808 Camden County residents have received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, while 290,600 are fully vaccinated. More information regarding vaccination rates throughout the county and available on the state’s COVID-19 dashboard at covid19.nj.gov.

The county Health Department is continuing to closely track new cases of COVID-19 and information regarding the prevalence of the Delta variant. New cases are often reassigned to other municipalities over the course of an investigation.
