COVID-19: Four more cases. July bad for teens.

The Camden County Department of Health reported today that four more Haddonfield residents have contracted the coronavirus, COVID-19. This brings the total number of confirmed cases locally to 73, with six fatalities.

Two of those added to the list today are age 10 to 19 — one male and one female. In addition, a female in her 30s and a male in his 40s were added.

Haddonfield’s youth (ages 10 to 19) escaped the virus until the beginning of July. The first cases were reported on July 2: two males. Then: a female on July 17; another on July 21; and another on July 22. A male also was reported on July 22.

In Camden County, the total number of cases stands at 8,455, with 528 deaths. For New Jersey, 177,645 cases with 13,787 confirmed deaths and an additional 1,920 probable deaths.

The transmission rate in New Jersey remains unchanged from yesterday, at 0.90. (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.)
