December 9, 2020

On the evening of December 8, 2020, the Board of Commissioners was informed of the death of another one of our Haddonfield residents due to COVID-19.  This is the sixth soul lost to coronavirus within our Borough.  The Commissioners send their deepest condolences to the family & friends of all those we've lost.

We had a total of 228 reported cases of COVID-19 as of November 30th.  An additional 22 cases were reported between Dec. 1st and Dec. 8th, bringing us to 250 cases.  These 22 cases included:

One (1) female in her 10s (between 10-19 years old),
One (1) female in her 20s,
One (1) female in her 30s,
Two (2) females in their 40s,
Four (4) females in their 50s,
Two (2) females in their 60s,
One (1) female in her 70s,
One (1) male juvenile (under 10),
Two (2) males in their 20s,
Two (2) males in their 30s,
Four (4) males in their 50s, and
One (1) male in his 80s.

The Commissioners recognize that many people are in need of spiritual & psychological support at this time, while others are looking for opportunities to give back through community service projects.  During the COVID-19 pandemic, the safest means to do these things is by phone, video, or through social media platforms. Where in-person participation or support is necessary, the CDC has issued the following guidance to help keep you safe: 

  • Maintain at least a distance of 2 arm lengths from others, including when distributing food or praying.
  • Wear a mask to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
  • Meet outside, where it is easier to keep people apart and where there is more ventilation.
