Link: More skin infections reported.

    Washington Township High School officials confirmed two cases of an antibiotic-resistant skin infection this week.

The cases of methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus — both in varsity football players — occurred within the last two weeks, said Jan Giel, a spokeswoman for the Washington Township Public Schools. Giel said she could not provide more specifics.

The students are being treated, doing well and are not contagious, district officials said.

The district sent home letters with football players on Thursday about the cases.
