“We are asking everyone to continue doing their part to protect those around them, and to prevent any additional unnecessary loss of life because of this virus,” said Freeholder Director Louis Cappelli, Jr.
“As we prepare for flu season and colder weather, now is the time to take steps to reduce your potential exposure to coronavirus. Wear masks, social distance, and minimize gatherings with others. We can get back to normal, but we have to take this fight seriously to make sure that we get there.”
Trace investigations are being facilitated with the patients and remain ongoing.
