The Metuchen School District reported 26 cases over the weekend, CBS2's Christina Fan reported.

The superintendent said an outbreak of 65 cases in the last 10 days led him to make the difficult decision to reimpose face coverings on buses and in classrooms. "I mean, personally, I don't want to wear my mask, but I see that there's a need that's a reason, so I've started wearing my mask again," said Ashvin Trehan, a junior.

Monday, Gov. Phil Murphy echoed his support for district leaders who felt the need to take action. He also shared optimistic news from the health department.
