2 Spring Lake Lifeguards Reportedly Test Positive For Coronavirus

SPRING LAKE – Two Jersey Shore lifeguards have tested positive for reportedly having the coronavirus.

Spring Lake Borough Administrator Bryan Dempsey said the two cases impact a pool and a beach lifeguard, according to a Friday WHYY report, and neither lifeguard is currently working.

Dempsey has asked the public to social distance on the boardwalk, at the beach and at the pool and wear face coverings, according to the report.

No notification was provided to beach badge holders, according to The Asbury Park Press, but Dempsey said he plans to send out a notification on Friday.

The announcement comes after Manasquan ended its recreation program season and placed limitations on its beach usage after a local coronavirus spike. Read more: Manasquan Ends Recreation, Limits Beaches In Local COVID Outbreak
