“It saddens me deeply to announce that another member of the Camden County community has succumbed to COVID-19. Our thoughts and prayers continue to be with those who have lost a loved one and those who are recovering from this insidious disease,” said Freeholder Director Louis Cappelli, Jr. “Today marks the lowest new case total in Camden County since March, and that is thanks entirely to the people of this county who have adapted and resolved themselves to do whatever they can in order to stop the spread of coronavirus, save lives, and protect our front line personnel. We know this fight is not over, but the toll taken by this virus would undoubtedly be much worse if not for our residents’ perseverance and commitment social distancing.”
