Gardner said the district is also having all camps tell all parents in writing that "this is an unusual year" -- referring to the outbreak of H1N1, which the World Health Organization has declared a pandemic.

Those symptoms include fever, cough, sore throats or a general sense of malaise. "If that's happening within seven days of them coming to a camp, they should not go," he said.

比广州还要严重得多！

国内已经叫停夏令营活动了。这边还只说家长应该负责，别把生病的孩子送去。可是，这不是还有潜伏期吗？不是还有无症状感染者么？
