“This has been an extremely difficult week for our community, this silent, insidious virus continues to wreak havoc throughout the county,” said Freeholder Director Louis Cappelli, Jr. “New cases continue to come in, but the county has fought to make testing more accessible to residents. Testing is critical to our understanding of how to fight this virus, and thankfully, it has never been more available to our residents than it is today. If we combine this knowledge gained with our successful social distancing practices, we will break the back of this virus and save countless lives.”
