​Point Boro Soccer Team Quarantined After Possible COVID Exposure

POINT PLEASANT BORO – The Point Pleasant Boro boys varsity soccer team will have to quarantine for 14 days after they were possibly exposed to COVID-19.

On Monday, Point Boro's athletic supervisor was notified by Lakewood that an athlete on Lakewood's team tested positive, officials said. The positive test came after Point Boro competed against them on Oct. 14th.

"As I have said to you many times before, it is the responsibility of the entire community to communicate any positive cases or exposures," Superintendent Vincent Smith said. "The health and safety fo the Point Pleasant schools and community continues to be our top priority."

The Lakewood boys soccer team is in quarantine and two classes in the district have moved to remote instruction after three people tested positive for the coronavirus, officials said Tuesday.

The Lakewood School District reported in its weekly update that a member of a sports team had tested positive, and 25 students — all team members — are in quarantine as of Monday.

The quarantines will be in place for 14 days, following guidelines from the Ocean County Health Department and the federal Centers for Disease Control.
