“Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families, and we are wishing a speedy recovery to everyone who has contracted this disease,” said Freeholder Director Louis Cappelli, Jr. “The average age of newly infected persons reported today is someone in their 30s. We need our younger residents to help us protect our community by taking the necessary actions to stop the spread of coronavirus: wear a mask, social distance, and work with our contact tracers. As the virus circulates among young people it will inevitably jump to their older family members, friends, and neighbors who are more vulnerable. I know these sacrifices aren’t easy, but they are necessary if we are going to get through this without losing more lives.”
The Department of Health is announcing 26 additional positive cases of novel coronavirus (COVID-19) identified in Camden County. Trace investigations are being facilitated with the patients and remain ongoing.
