The Camden County Department of Health is announcing two new deaths caused by novel coronavirus (COVID-19) in Camden County, as well as 59 additional confirmed cases of the disease.
The two reported deaths were a male in his 80’s from Camden City and a male in his 60’s from Winslow Township.
“In the fight against the novel coronavirus, the days become longer and tougher as we continue to see fatalities and new positive cases. It saddens me to report the county had two more fatalities today. The devastating impact this insidious virus is having on our community is unprecedented and historic. Our thoughts and prayers are with the families who have been met by the tragic consequences of this pandemic and we will not forget them as we double our efforts to flatten the curve,” said Freeholder Director Louis Cappelli, Jr. “We need everyone to continue to take this threat seriously, even as these long weeks at home begin to take their toll. If we all do our part, we will emerge from this stronger and more united than ever.”
