SANTA ROSA, Calif., Jun 22, 2009 (UPI via COMTEX) -- The operators of a
California summer camp say they decided to cancel their season after more than
two dozen staff members came down with the H1N1 virus.
Camp Newman-Swig in Santa Rosa never had a chance to open after 25 of 170 staff
members called in sick, the San Francisco Chronicle said Sunday.
Rabbi Elliott Kleinman of the Union for Reform Judaism, the organization that
runs the camp, said there was no pressure from health officials to close the
camp.
"We felt that we had to drop back a little bit and regroup," he told the
Chronicle.
The newspaper said camps across the United States were being urged to keep a
close eye out for the H1N1 virus, which continued spreading long after the end
of the annual winter flu season.
