It’s critically important that we continue to stay home and limit our contact with others,” said Kevin Thomas, Cape May County Health Officer. “Some initial indications suggest that these types of community mitigations are having a positive impact on decreasing the spread of disease.”
The virus is thought to spread mainly from person-to person. COVID-19 can spread through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes. These droplets can land in the mouths or noses of people who are nearby or possible be inhaled into the lungs. It can spread between people who are in close contact with one another, within about 6 feet. The best way to prevent illness is to avoid being exposed to this virus. Since COVID-19 spreads easily from person-to-person it is important to do the following:
- Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
- Put distance between yourself and other people.
- Stay Home, unless you need to leave to get essential supplies.
The statewide COVID-19 count is 64,585 cases and 2,443 fatalities as of Monday, April 13th. Bergen County, which has the highest count of any county in the state, surpassed 10,000 cases as of Monday.
