COVID-19: Teens drive numbers up

The Camden County Department of Health reported three new COVID-19 cases for Haddonfield today, all females age 10 to 19.

There are now more cases in the 10s since July 1 than in any other age bracket. The 20s have the most cases overall, however, with 22 since the first Haddonfield case was recorded, on March 20.

The total number of local cases now stands at 105, with seven fatalities.

For Camden County, the total number of cases is 10,230. The number of deaths remains at 569. For New Jersey, 197,404 cases with 14,254 confirmed deaths and an additional 1,789 probable deaths.

The transmission rate — a key metric — remained steady today, at 1.06. (A transmission rate of 1.0 means that, on average, each new case will produce one additional new case. When the transmission rate falls below 1,0, it’s a good sign. When it rises above 1.0, it’s cause for concern.)
