Red Bank Regional HS Moves To All Virtual Classes For 2 Weeks

RED BANK, NJ - Four students at Red Bank Regional High School have tested positive for COVID-19 in recent weeks, prompting the school district to suspend in-person classes until Nov. 13.

In a Wednesday letter to district parents, Superintendent Louis Moore noted that, while there continues to be “no evidence of community transmission of the virus within our school” per the local health commission, the school was advised to suspend all in-person instruction and activities including athletics.

“I realize that this news is unsettling and disruptive. However, it is my hope that by taking this preventative action we can avoid further spread of the virus and additional disruptions to our in-person programs,” Moore wrote.

The superintendent stressed maintaining "ongoing vigilance is critical to reducing the spread of the virus" and advised the community to continue following the Centers for Disease Control Prevention safeguards such as:

• Staying home when you are sick
• Washing hands often with soap for at least 20 seconds
• Covering coughs and sneezes and properly disposing of tissues
• Limiting close contact with people who are sick and not sharing food, drinks and utensils
• Practicing social distancing
• Wearing masks
• Continuing to monitor your health for symptoms
