Camden County's COVID 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 10-month total of 39,095 cases on Friday, an increase of 648 cases and a 1.7 percent increase over the previous week.

There were also 35 new deaths reported this week, raising the number of coronavirus-related fatalities to 1,058 since the beginning of the pandemic.

“As we approach the one-year anniversary of this pandemic, it is with great sadness that we announce 22 additional deaths caused by this disease in Camden County,” Camden County Commissioner Director Louis Cappelli Jr. said on Friday. “Approximately 14 percent of all Camden County residents have received at least one vaccine dose. We still have a long way to go, but every vaccination provided to our community adds additional protection and diminishes the ability of the virus to spread.”

The disease’s impact is also reflected in the New Jersey 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 it has a rate of 1 to 10 cases per 100,000 people.

If the overall activity is at an "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.

In fact, Camden County Assistant Public Health Coordinator Caryelle Lasher said during a news conference this week that health officials have been inspecting schools throughout the county to see if they were ready to open for further in-person learning. As of Thursday, 88 percent of the schools in the district were engaged in some form of in-person learning, she said.

"We've had few outbreaks within our schools," Lasher said. "We've had limited transmission in schools, but it is being spread among sports groups and groups of friends gathering outside schools."

"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.
