“The four additional lives lost should warn us all the need to press onward with strict adherence to social distancing guidelines and other safety measures designed to stop the spread of deadly coronavirus.” said Dr. Herb Conaway. “Burlington County is offering free testing services in Westampton. Residents who are experiencing symptoms should call 609-726-7097. If you are tested and awaiting results, be sure to stay home to avoid infecting others. Now more than ever, these precautions will save lives.”

CONTACT TRACING CLARIFICATION

Burlington County is actively engaged in contact tracing positive COVID19 cases. The focus is on close contacts, defined as closer than 6 feet for more than 10 minutes, household contacts and those that work in high risk settings such as healthcare workers and long term care facilities. If community exposure has occurred, where a COVID-19 positive person was in close contact with people for an extended period of time, while symptomatic, we will notify the public. Since residents are abiding by the social distancing requirements, we have not run into that issue since our first releases. Reminder: Mass exposure, due to social distancing guidelines, and the cooperation of the public has been minimized. Residents are reminded to remain 6 feet apart while obtaining essential items or services, and stay home unless absolutely necessary.
