We are not testing but we suspect that many of the viral illnesses we are seeing are COVID. We treat symptomatically, keep them out of the bunk if they have fever and until they are well enough to participate. Sick is sick and we are back to treating illness the way we did pre-COVID…plus using masks to see all sick people. If campers or staff are not getting well at camp, they go home. We just had Visiting Day and will not be surprised if we see an uptick in illness in another day or two. From what we are hearing there is a good amount of COVID out in the non-camp population, so know it will be here at camp, too; we are not a closed community.
We have seen more pneumonia than usual, less strep.
