‘Chris kin’ spreader

Classes closed after COVID party

A New Jersey middle school was forced to hold virtual classes on Friday after several students contracted the coronavirus while celebrating the bar mitzvah of former Gov. Chris Christie’s nephew, The Post has learned.

The event involving the 13-year-old son of Todd and Andrea Christie took place last weekend and school officials learned late Thursday night that it led to an outbreak, Mendham Township schools Superintendent Salvatore Constantino said.

“There were, unfortunately, a few adult cases and a few student cases that came out of it,” Constantino told The Post.

There were already “a few cases” at Mendham Township Middle School “and we couldn’t ensure a safe environment, so we thought it would be prudent for us to go virtual again on Friday,” Constantino said. “We are actually in very good shape. We’ll be back in session and ready to go on Monday.”

Constantino declined to say exactly how many kids were infected at the bar mitzvah, saying only that the school had “fewer than half a dozen [cases], stemming from the event and existing population.”

The bar mitzvah was apparently followed by a reception at the Avenue A Club in Newark, according to a screenshot of a photo — obtained by The Post — that Todd posted on social media but appears to have since been deleted.

The photo appears to show Todd and Andrea Christie and their five kids — none wearing masks — as they posed in a small room at the club.

Todd Christie, 56, hung up immediately after The Post contacted him by phone Friday evening and didn’t return a voicemail message left at his home.
