A number of students who attended a recent beach party at the Jersey Shore have tested positive for the coronavirus
JERSEY SHORE – Multiple students who attended a recent beach party at the Jersey Shore have tested positive for the coronavirus, officials announced this week.
Kingsway Regional High School students have tested positive for the coronavirus and the Gloucester County Health Department is “working hard” to determine the extent of the exposure, James Lavender, the district’s superintendent, wrote in a letter to parents.
Lavender said his district is working with the health department to investigate an outbreak among a number of students who attended a beach party in Sea Isle City on Thursday, Aug. 13. Sports activities have been canceled for the remainder of the summer.
“Unfortunately, inconclusive and intermittent social media posts have become our best resource of information, exhausting both education and health officials throughout the process,” he wrote.
“Therefore, we need your help as the status of the investigation is fluid and communication is vital as we work to mitigate additional community spread.”
