Description:Interpretive Summary for June10, 2022
Happy Campers
As we head into summer, many people are at much lower risk of serious illness, hospitalization, and death from COVID-19 because of increased immunity through vaccination or previous infection. Almost 71% of the U.S. population ages 5 years and older has completed their primary COVID-19 vaccine series, and treatments are widely available. While this is certainly good news, it is still important to protect yourself and others around you, including those who are at increased risk for severe illness.
CDC recently updated its guidance for K–12 schools and early care and education settings, which also applies to summer camps. Based on the COVID-19 Community Levels, this guidance gives schools and camps the flexibility to adapt to their changing local situations. It features a variety of strategies for keeping all kids safe, like promoting vaccination, offering testing, ensuring proper ventilation, and encouraging hand hygiene and mask-wearing. The guidance also provides advice on what to do if an outbreak occurs, regardless of community level. If you’re sending your kids to camp this summer, ask the camp director what steps they are taking to prevent COVID-19.
Make sure this summer is a safe one! Check your COVID-19 Community Level when planning activities, consider getting tested before you travel, and remember that being outdoors is safest. CDC recommends COVID-19 vaccines, including boosters, for everyone ages 5 years and older. Use CDC’s COVID-19 booster tool to learn if and when you can get boosters to stay up to date and protected with your COVID-19 vaccines.
