Even taking all the recommended precautions isn’t enough to keep group gatherings safe in areas seeing surging infection rates. What does the spate of outbreaks at camp mean for the fate of school reopenings? annaesilman reports
Photo: Getty Images/EyeEm After three and a half months in lockdown with her two kids, ages 3 and 6, Hannah Lebovits was desperate to get the children out of the house and have some time for herself. “I’m behind on everything; my husband’s behind on everything. We just cannot keep up,” says Lebovits, who is getting ready to start a new job in the fall as an assistant professor at the University of Texas at Arlington. When she considered sending her kids to day camp, safety was her main focus.
“Working closely with local health experts and our parent body and following the guidelines put forth by the CDC, we created a safety plan that included strict protocols should a camper or staff member test positive for the virus,” said Chabad of Plano, which runs the camp, in a statement. “About two weeks into our summer program, as infection rates suddenly began to soar statewide, two staff members and two campers tested positive.
For many parents, the reopening of summer camps, many of which take place largely outdoors, offered hope for a brief respite and return to some semblance of normalcy.
Advocates for reopening schools, including President Trump, have noted that a number of European countries have reopened schools without seeing an uptick in cases, yet these countries resumed in-person classes only after getting their outbreaks under control. According to the New York Times, only two of the nation’s ten-largest school districts currently have an infection rate under 5 percent, the standard recommended by epidemiologists to safely reopen.
