Thanks for sharing your ideas and concerns everyone. Remember that what we did before worked which meant things like pre-testing, ventilation, hand hygiene, sanitizing. You can decide how you might use masking, cohorting that works best for your facility.
The best option for preventing entry of COVID is pre-testing. It is not full proof, but gives you the only objective information prior to coming to camp. In the same sense, most youth have been exposed to COVID (seroprevalence is 95%) and therefore MAY already have some immunity to the condition and likely not to have severe disease.
I encourage each of you to follow your communicable disease plan – whatever you have put in place during COVID and revised since then is what you should be doing. Following your policy is important in order to avoid later potential ramifications.
Best for 2023!
