“Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families, and we are continuing to wish a speedy recovery to everyone who has contracted this disease,” Camden County Freeholder Director Louis Cappelli Jr. said. “As we look forward to the fall, we should take stock of everything that we have learned about fighting this pandemic. Wearing a mask is the number one way to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Large gatherings, especially indoors where there is little or no mask wearing, are extremely dangerous. Failure to be forthright with contact tracers inhibits our ability to prevent those who have been exposed to coronavirus from exposing others. If we can take these lessons and act on them moving forward, we will be much better off than when this crisis began in the spring.”
