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

The coronavirus continues to have an impact on Camden County, according to updated state data.

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

On Friday, Camden County reported a total of 48,326 coronavirus cases since the pandemic began. This includes an additional 619 cases reported over the course of the last week.

The disease’s impact is reflected in the state Department of Health's most recent "COVID-19 Activity Level Report," which is issued weekly. The most recent report, released Thursday, says Camden County is in the “yellow zone,” meaning the county has a rate of 1 to 10 cases per 100,000 people.

If the overall activity returns to the "orange" level, which means it would have a rate of 10 to 25 cases per 100,000 people, 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.
