These cases bring the countywide total to 3,573 with 1,994 residents having been cleared as recovered. A total of 241 residents have died as a result of COVID-19.
Atlantic County will continue to provide COVID-19 testing 9-11:30 a.m. every Tuesday in August at its drive-thru facility in Northfield at Rt. 9 and Dolphin Avenue, behind the county public works yard.
The test site is available for both symptomatic and asymptomatic county residents with or without a doctor’s prescription. Residents must make an appointment for testing and provide proof of county residency and appointment confirmation.
Appointments can be made online at www.aclink.org. Those who are unable to keep their appointments are asked to cancel no less than 24 hours in advance so others may have an opportunity to fill those spots.
