The Rhode Island Department of Health (HEALTH) issued an interim health advisory to all summer camp operators regarding the prevention and control of H1N1 at day camps or residential camps.
“HEALTH continues to see cases of H1N1 in the state,” said Director of Health David R. Gifford, MD, MPH. “We expect that H1N1 will likely continue through the summer, with a possibility of higher prevalence in camps. All summer camp operators should be implementing aspects of the guidance that apply to their individual camp.”
The advisory contains recommendations for infection control, disease management and general prevention of the spread of illness. To view the full advisory, visit http://www.health.ri.gov/pandemicflu/swineflu/Advisory/CampGuidance062309Revised.pdf
