COVID-19: Haddonfield nears 100 cases; County tops 10,000

The Camden County Department of Health reported today that three Haddonfield residents have tested positive for the novel coronavirus, COVID-19: a female in her 40s (September 5), a male in his 30s (September 6), and a male in his 20s (today). This brings the total number of confirmed cases locally to 98, with seven fatalities.

In Camden County, the total number of cases passed the 10,000 mark today, and stands now at 10,013. Two deaths were added to the tally today, for a total of 568. For New Jersey, 194,667 cases with 14,213 confirmed deaths and an additional 1,783 probable deaths.

The transmission rate — a key metric — rose today to 1.10. (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.)
