Camden County COVID Numbers: See Town-By-Town Updates

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).

As of Friday, Camden County has seen 41,377 coronavirus cases and 1,113 coronavirus-related deaths since the beginning of the pandemic more than a year ago.

The number of cases increased by 819 over the previous week, but the county saw the most new cases in one day on Thursday when it reported 170 new cases. There were also 26 new deaths announced this week, including 22 on Monday and four on Friday. Read more here: Camden County Sees Most New COVID-19 Cases In 1 Day Since January

But the state Department of Health's most recent "COVID-19 Activity Level Report," which is issued weekly, said Camden County remains in the yellow zone as of Thursday.

“Yellow” means the county has a rate 1 to 10 cases per 100,000 people. County officials continued to stress caution, though.

“Now is not the time to return to normal,” Camden County Commissioner Director Louis Cappelli Jr. said on Friday. “With vaccinations underway and cases down from the beginning of the year, it’s easy to be lulled into a false sense of security. The truth is that this virus remains active and capable of spreading extremely quickly. Please continue to follow all applicable public health measures to protect yourself and others. Wear a mask, social distance, and get vaccinated when it’s your turn.”

They don’t want to slip back to the “orange” zone, which means a rate of 10 to 25 cases per 100,000 people. If the overall activity is at the "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.
