Camden County Coronavirus Cases: See Town-By-Town Numbers

CAMDEN COUNTY, NJ — New data has been released that shows the coronavirus continues to have an impact on Camden County (see town-by-town totals below).

Camden County reported a one-year total of 43,309 coronavirus cases on Friday, an increase of 949 cases over the previous week.

This included 199 new cases and six new deaths that were reported on Thursday. No information about cases or deaths was released on Friday.

“It is with great sadness that we announce the death of six additional members of our community due to COVID-19. Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families as this pandemic continues to affect our community,” Camden County Commissioner Director Louis Cappelli Jr. said “With another holiday upon us, we are urging everyone to continue being extremely cautious with any gatherings this weekend. Holiday gatherings have driven previous spikes in cases, and we have already seen cases jump significantly over the last two weeks.”

The following information is known about the most recent coronavirus-related deaths in Camden County:

• A Cherry Hill man in his 80s;
• A Waterford man in his 70s;
• A Barrington woman in her 80s;
• A Gloucester Township woman in her 90s;
• A Voorhees woman in her 90s; and
• A Haddonfield woman in her 80s.

During a news conference earlier this week, Camden County Commissioner Jonathan Young said the county was averaging 147 cases a day after averaging 102 cases a day from March 1-7.

The increase was recently reflected in the state Department of Health's most "COVID-19 Activity Level Report," which showed the county had moved back into the orange zone after being in the yellow zone.

If the county is in the "orange" zone, it means it has a rate of 10 to 25 cases per 100,000 people. “Yellow” means the county has a rate 1 to 10 cases per 100,000 people.

If the overall activity is at a "orange" level, state officials say, school districts in those counties would have to take more serious steps — such as quarantining or even shutting down schools — if a child shows the symptoms of COVID-19.

"When it is high risk, there are some recommendations that we make together with local school boards," said Edward Lifshitz, medical director for the state Department of Health.

Indeed, a number of school districts still provide remote instruction even as the number of new daily cases has dropped in recent weeks.
