6 E" x( Z+ _' s2 d2 QThe Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit is reporting that 227 young people at three summer camps in cottage country have developed H1N1 flu.

# m* m8 Q* D1 F8 N* r5 ?/ NThe lakeland area of central Ontario covered by the district has 71 registered camps. The three camps involved had 1,275 campers and 480 staff, he said.

The number of infected represents almost one in five campers and almost one in seven camp staffers at the affected camps.

The cases developed in the past week. All are considered mild, meaning no one required hospitalization, Gardner said.

# V/ K% W* \- K) k3 U"The camps are working very closely with the health unit to implement what we call control measures," he said.

Most of the infected campers have been sent home to recover.  Those who can't be sent home for whatever reason are in quarantine.

Gardner said the district is also having all camps tell all parents in writing that "this is an unusual year" -- referring to the outbreak of H1N1, which the World Health Organization has declared a pandemic.

3 Z. ]8 F/ M' ?- N  S"They need to be aware of H1N1 influenza, that we've had three outbreaks to date and there's the possibility we could have others," he said.

"Do not send your children to camp if they have any influenza-like illness," he said.

Those symptoms include fever, cough, sore throats or a general sense of malaise. "If that's happening within seven days of them coming to a camp, they should not go," he said.

Gardner said the district thought there could be some outbreaks at camps this summer, given that some cases had occurred in schools.

国内已经叫停夏令营活动了。这边还只说家长应该负责，别把生病的孩子送去。可是，这不是还有潜伏期吗？不是还有无症状感染者么？
