(Gloucester Township, NJ) –The Camden County Department of Health is announcing 25 additional positive cases of novel coronavirus (COVID-19) identified in Camden County. Trace investigations are being facilitated with the patients and remain ongoing.

“We are starting to see an uptick in new cases based on more widespread testing throughout the county, this uptick does not mean our social distancing efforts aren’t working, but that residents now have more access and opportunity to get tested,” said Freeholder Director Louis Cappelli, Jr. “I have no delusions about this pandemic ending in the near future or that our bold efforts are in vain to give our medical professionals the time to find medication and a vaccine for this insidious virus. There is only one way to break the back of this thing and win the war – to ensure we are staying home and not spreading the virus to our friends and loved ones. Again, I want to thank everyone who has been staying home and is complying with county, state and CDC guidelines.”
