Freeholder Director Louis Cappelli Jr. talked about the significant loss of life this pandemic has caused the residents of Camden County.
“I’m at a total loss for words today. The fatalities reported from our county Medical Examiner, the state electronic death records and funeral home directors was hard to process based on the toll it took on our community. The families impacted will be in our thoughts and prayers tonight and into the future as this pandemic grinds on,” Cappelli said. “Right now it is important to remember that we need to continue to fight this virus with the best tools we have, in other words, we need to double down on our mitigation efforts so we can flatten the curve and we need to work hard to flatten the curve of this virus. Even though the news is grim today I believe our efforts are yielding real results.”
