COVID-19: Three new cases, including teen

The Camden County Department of Health reported yesterday and today that three Haddonfield residents have tested positive for the novel coronavirus, COVID-19: a female in her 10s, a male in his 20s (both on September 3), and a female in her 20s (today). This brings the total number of confirmed cases locally to 95, with seven fatalities.

In Camden County, the total number of cases stands at 9,918, with 566 deaths. For New Jersey, 193,422 cases with 14,195 confirmed deaths and an additional 1,783 probable deaths.

The transmission rate — a key metric — rose today to 1.03, up from 0.99 yesterday. (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.)
