Understanding that COVID-19 may impact certain areas of the state differently, the New Jersey Department of Health provides information on COVID-19 transmission at the regional level, characterizing risk as low (green), moderate (yellow), high (orange), and very high (red). Camden County is in the Southwest region which also includes Burlington, Gloucester and Salem counties. Regional risk levels are posted online every Thursday on the NJDOH CDS COVID-19 website.

The COVID-19 Weekly Activity Report provides data on COVID-19 transmission risk by six regions. This report is posted on Thursdays and uses Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) dates, which are from Sunday to Saturday. MMWR dates are commonly used by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to standardize weekly reporting across years. Click here to view the reports.
