In a statement from the Bucks County Health Department, they say, "This is exactly why we can't let our guard down now, even if it feels `safe' to be at the beach. One unlucky exposure can lead to a large cascade of cases down the line. We want everyone to enjoy the warmer weather and have fun, but let's keep in mind that COVID is still circulating in the community at baseline levels."
The health department did not release where the New Jersey resident lives, or the parties that he or she attended.
More cases are expected.
