A coronavirus cluster in New Jersey has been traced to a high school house party

and the teens and their parents are refusing to cooperate with contact tracers, officials say

A new cluster of coronavirus cases in Middletown, New Jersey, has been traced back to a high school house party, and the teens who attended and their parents haven't been cooperative with contact tracers, reports say.

Health officials say 20 young people, between the ages of 15 and 19, have tested positive for the coronavirus in recent days, according to ABC 7 New York.

They believe these cases are connected to a house party that took place in the town on July 11.

However, contact tracers have been struggling to identify everyone who might have been exposed at the party.

will sue them for allowing such a gathering and Covid contracted as a result. They don't tell who the kids are and they don't get sued.
