The day the Raleigh camps opened, children exposed to COVID-19 :: WRAL.com


– The city of Raleigh alerted parents over the weekend that children attending the Millbrook Exchange Park day camp had been exposed to someone who tested positive for COVID-19.

An email letter was sent to 24 families with children who were exposed to the individual. The exhibition occurred on June 29, that day, the city’s camp programs opened for the season, according to the letter.

The letter advises: “Contact your medical provider and the county health department in which you live immediately for further instructions.”

Exposed children cannot return to camp until, in addition, they have been isolated for 14 days without developing symptoms or, if positive, they have had 10 days since symptoms began, an improvement in symptoms and at least three days without fever without the use of medications.

Across the city, 31 camps are operating with modifications to accommodate the coronavirus outbreak. Those changes require campers to wear masks and complete a wellness assessment and temperature check every day. Campers are assigned to groups of no more than 12 and interaction between groups is limited.
