Of the 3,108 local cases, 844 have originated in 23 of 56 Camden County long-term care (LTC) facilities, or 27 percent. LTCs are believed to be associated with 107 of 127 total local deaths, or 84 percent.

“We are continuing to rapidly expand testing access throughout the county and are determined to break the back of this virus once and for all, so that we can end this period of extreme social distancing,” Freeholder-Director Lou Cappelli said in a statement.
