Nearly 2 dozen lifeguards in New Jersey test positive for coronavirus after hosting social gathering

Two dozen lifeguards have tested positive for COVID-19 on Long Beach Island in New Jersey after hosting two social gatherings two weeks ago.

Since July 18, 11 lifeguards from Harvey Cedars and 12 from Surf City — both of which located on Long Beach Island — have received positive test results.

"The health department started receiving reports of COVID-19 activity among Surf City lifeguards on Saturday, July 18 and Harvey Cedars lifeguards on Sunday, July 19," Daniel J. Krupinski, the Long Beach Island Health Department director, told WHYY. "We have reason to believe the case activity stems from common social gatherings outside of work on July 12 and 14."

Mayor Jonathan Oldham of Harvey Cedars told NJ.com that he does not know where the social events took place or what exactly they entailed.
