Updated Dec 10, 2020;
The head of the Salem County chapter of the NAACP says that county workers and the general public weren’t notified about a COVID-19 outbreak at the county board of elections that has claimed a life.
County officials confirmed Monday that one worker died as a result of the outbreak that began last month. In all, 17 confirmed cases were tied to the outbreak.
NAACP Chapter President Nelson Carney Jr. described the man who died as a good friend and an executive committee member with the local NAACP, but declined to identify him for privacy reasons.
