ASBURY PARK – The Asbury Park School District will have a two-hour delayed opening for students on Friday.

The district did provide information on dealing with the coronavirus outbreak:

"As the Asbury Park School District continues to monitor developments related to the coronavirus, we are finalizing an alternate home instructional plan should the need for a health-related closure arise.

"In the interim, we are continuing daily use of our three-step cleaning and disinfecting process of all regular and frequently touched surfaces, such as doorknobs and handrails.

"As a reminder, we encourage everyone to routinely wash your hands with soap and water for a minimum of 20 seconds, or use hand sanitizer with 60-percent or more alcohol content.

"Also, please be mindful that your child must be fever-free for 24 hours before he/she can return to school. As always, please visit our website and social media pages for real-time updates."
