Another Camden County resident has lost his battle with novel coronavirus (COVID-19), and 572 others have tested positive for the virus since Friday, according to reports from the Camden County government.
That brings the local impact of the pandemic to 13,092 infected residents and 581 related deaths.
The most recently deceased is a Waterford man in his 90s.
“We are continuing to experience unmitigated spread of this virus and it shows no signs of slowing,” said Freeholder Director Lou Cappelli in a written statement Wednesday.
“Everyone needs to be taking precautions to protect themselves and their families,” Cappelli said, “including avoiding indoor gatherings, wearing a mask whenever you’re around others, social distancing when possible, and working with contact tracers when they call.”
Throughout New Jersey, 245,257 people have been sickened by COVID-19, and 14,591 have perished from causes related to the virus.
In addition to those lab-confirmed fatalities, the state also recognizes another 1,800 probable COVID-19-related deaths, seven more than previously reported.

LTCs are believed to be associated with 60 percent, or 346 of 581 total deaths in Camden County: 343 were residents and three were staff.
