GLOUCESTER TOWNSHIP, NJ A Gloucester Township man in his 70s has died after testing positive for the coronavirus, Camden County officials announced on Monday.
He is the 79th Gloucester Township resident to die after testing positive for the virus. He was among 11 new deaths announced in Camden County on Monday. Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families, as we announce eleven additional deaths in Camden County caused by this insidious pandemic, Camden County Director Louis Cappelli Jr. said. While the post-Thanksgiving surge in cases seems to be slowing, we are losing more lives than we have in months. We cannot afford another surge on top of this in the coming weeks. Please take all precautions this holiday season, including limiting gatherings to your immediate household only, in order to stop the spread and protect

NEW JERSEY – New Jersey is starting coronavirus vaccinations a week later because officials have admitted to missing the deadline for federal approval.
Health Commissioner Judith Persichilli said this weekend that New Jersey and nursing homes were supposed to submit the paperwork for approval by Dec. 7th so the vaccinations could start by Monday. But they missed the deadline by a day.
Now the vaccinations can t start until Dec. 28th.
Subscribe We asked to start on the 21st and they said, No, you ll start on the 28th, Persichilli said. It was as simple as that.
Persichilli, speaking during a news conference, said the sheer volume of information that had to be inputted caused the state and its 600-plus long-term care facilities, skilled nursing homes and assisted living facilities to miss the deadline.
