As of March 6th, 2020, What you need to know about COVID-19 and Summer Camp

This special edition of the CampHacker Podcast is an interview with Dr. Amy Greer surrounding COVID-19 and what we know, as of March 6th, 2020 and summer camp.

Dr. Amy Greer is one of Canada's top infectious disease specialists and researchers, Dr. Amy Greer and a summer camp alumnus. You can follow her on twitter here - https://twitter.com/AmyGreerKalisz.

There’s a lot of great information here, and it’s definitely worth the listen.

Some quick takeaways (many more in the recording):

Amy asked that we not share this video with our families - the information will become out of date quickly. It was recorded on Friday, March 6th
You need to be consulting your local Health Department (I assume you're doing this already) for 2 things: what to be preparing now for your medical procedures this summer and making a call closer to this summer about whether/how camp will run
you should prepare a new procedure this summer to get all families to confirm, no more than 48-hours before camp, that their camper is not symptomatic
you should be ready with new cleaning/disinfecting procedures this summer.

We hope you find this interview helpful. If you have any follow-up questions, please forward them to travis@gocamp.pro
