(CNN) A dozen new coronavirus cases in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, have been traced back to a single New Jersey resident who spread the virus at "beach house gatherings" on the Jersey Shore over the past two weeks, according to a county health department news release. "This is exactly why we can't let our guard down now, even if it feels `safe' to be at the beach," county health department Director Dr. David Damsker said in the release. There will likely be additional infections among family members of the new cases, added Damsker. The 12 individuals are currently self-isolating at home and are experiencing "mild symptoms," county spokesman Larry King told CNN. It's unclear whether all 12 had had attended the same gatherings as the New Jersey resident, he said.
