Public health officials continue to investigate and contact all individuals who may have had exposure to people who tested positive for COVID-19.
Cape May County Department of Health continues to encourage all residents to conduct preventive measures, practice social distancing and follow Gov. Phil Murphy’s executive orders.
COVID-19 appears to spread from person-to-person mainly with close contact (less than 6 feet away), but may also be spread by a surface that has the virus and then touching one’s mouth, nose or possibly eyes.
The Centers for Disease Control states that the spread is through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes.
