Two new COVID-19 cases: Male teen, female 40s.

The Camden County Department of Health reported today that another two Haddonfield residents have contracted the coronavirus, COVID-19: a male age 10 to 19 identified on Friday, July 25 and a female in her 30s on Saturday 26. (Camden County reports weekend numbers on Mondays.) This brings the total number of confirmed cases locally to 76, with six fatalities.

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, and this latest case on July 25. The total now stands at seven.

In Camden County, the total number of cases stands at 8,698, with 538 deaths. For New Jersey, 179,812 cases with 13,884 confirmed deaths and an additional 1,920 probable deaths.

The transmission rate in New Jersey jumped from 0.90 on Friday to 1.09 today. (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.)
