Dr. Charles Gardner, the district's chief medical officer of health, told ctvtoronto.ca on Wednesday that the district isn't saying which three camps are involved.

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.

比广州还要严重得多！

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？
