NBC晚间新闻 密苏里州一夏令营关闭（在线收听）

For many families, Missouri’s Kanakuk camps are synonymous with summer. This year the network of camps deciding to open with extra precautions. On june 26th, families were notified one of its overnight camps was closing after two positive cases. Tonight that number is up to 82. Camps in at least eight states are seeing coronavirus outbreaks. A pediatric infectious disease specialist usually sends his daughters. but not this year. Once you get one patient or one person or child or counselor ill, now it’s going to spread like a wild fire. 26 million children typically attend summer camp. This year only 6.5 million are expected.

It was a big decision this year, but it was something that we thought that they really needed. 60% of parents say they have have no idea how to keep kids engaged this summer. Dr. Newland says outdoor day camp may be safer than sleep-away, but it all comes down to risk. Probably the question we all want to know better is what is the likelihood that some of these children took it home and passed it to an adult? Kanakuk did not respond to our requests for comment, but Missouri’s health department reports the camp plans to reopen later this summer once test results show it’s safe to do so. The school is incredibly important for young people. we also think camps are important. And how camps fair this summer could be key to whether schools open this fall.

对很多家庭来说，密苏里州的坎那库克夏令营就是夏天的代名词。今年，夏令营决定在格外小心的情况下开放。6月26日，家庭接到通知，其中一个过夜营地在出现两例阳性病例后关闭。今晚这个数字升到了82。至少八个州的营地出现了冠状病毒爆发。一位儿科传染病专家通常会让他的女儿们去夏令营。但今年没有。一旦你发现一个病人，一个人，一个孩子或者辅导员感染了病毒，它就会像野火一样蔓延。通常每年有2600万儿童参加夏令营。今年预计只有650万人。今年，这是一个重大决定，但是我们觉得孩子们非常需要它。60%的家长表示，他们不知道如何让孩子们在这个夏天参与夏令营。纽兰博士说，户外白天露营可能比过夜露营更安全，但这都是有风险的。也许我们都想知道的问题是，这些孩子把冠状病毒带回家并传给成年人的可能性有多大？坎那库克营地没有回应我们的评论请求，但是密苏里州卫生部门表示，一旦检测结果表明开放夏令营是安全的，他们就计划在今年夏天晚些时候重新开放。学校对年轻人来说非常重要。我们也认为夏令营很重要。今年夏天的夏令营的开放情况可能是今年秋天学校是否开放的关键。
