Tips to Keeping Immune System High

• Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables

• Stay hydrated

• Exercise each day

• Get sufficient amount of sleep

 

Possible Closing of Camp

• “Initial closing is to allow time for thorough cleaning and sanitizing the entire area, contact assessment and communication. The total center closure could last for 14 days or more depending on several factors including the identity of the person with COVID-19 or probable COVID-19 (i.e., staff, child in care, household contact), number of persons or classrooms exposed, when the person with COVID-19 or probable COVID-19 was last at the child care center , and symptoms in other persons exposed. The local health department and licensing specialist should be consulted for guidance about reopening

  • NOTE: Program Closure may be shorter than 14 days, and the program may be able to reopen, if a person with symptoms of COVID-19 is tested for COVID-19 and results are negative. Reopening decisions and approvals are made on a case by case basis.”
