There are now over 130,000 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the New Jersey including over 8,500 deaths. Cape May County Health Department reports 404 people that have tested positive for COVID-19 including the passing of a 71-year-old male and an 86-year-old male both from Lower Township as well as a 71-year-old female from Middle Township. The total deaths in Cape May County is 30.

“We are all profoundly saddened by this news,” said Cape May County Freeholder Director Gerald M.

Which is why social distancing is so important, especially around our elderly population.”
