The Sussex County Division of Health is the lead agency for investigation of confirmed cases of COVID- 19, which includes contact tracing. During case investigation, the SCDOH determines which persons are close contacts, as defined by the New Jersey Department of Health, and makes the appropriate recommendations to those individuals.

Sussex County Freeholder Director Sylvia Petillo and the Sussex County Division of Health (SCDOH) are saddened to announce that they have been notified of eight additional COVID-19- related deaths in Sussex County, in an 89 year- old male, a 78 year- old female, a 66 year- old male, a 70 year- old male, a 73 year- old male, a 62 year- old male, and a 65 year- old male, all from Andover Township; and a 94 year- old female from Frankford Township.
