U.S. summer camps are experiencing coronavirus outbreaks, despite best efforts to stay safe. Here are some contributing factors, according to physicians and epidemiologists.
According to the CDC, the lowest-risk scenario in a camp setting is when small groups of campers who are from the same geographic region “stay together all day, each day.” These campers remain 6 feet apart, stay outdoors and do not share objects. The highest risk for campers is those who “mix between groups and do not remain spaced apart.”
However, Kass says, at day camp it’s easier to track outbreaks because children are geographically local and sleep at home, where parents can track symptoms based on an intimate knowledge of their children’s health.
