Social Distancing Ambassadors Coming To Ocean City June 6

OCEAN CITY, NJ — Following its test run, Cape May County's social distancing ambassadors will return June 6 to Ocean City.

The County's volunteer ambassadors will remind people to keep 6 feet apart and provide educational materials on how to prevent exposure to the coronavirus. The program provides "positive reinforcement" and doesn't have any enforcement element.

Officials introduced the program May 12 and tested in around Cape May County.

“This program has gotten a great reception and has gotten Cape May County a lot of positive attention,” said Freeholder Jeff Pierson, liaison to the Health Department.
