Stone County Health Department (SCHD) continues to further investigate the Covid-19 cases at Kanakuk K-2 camp in Lampe (Stone County).
At the time of this release (Thursday morning) 41 campers, counselors and staff have tested positive for Covid-19.
All 41 positive cases were from the Kanakuk K-2 camp in Lampe. These cases reside in 10 states and multiple counties in Missouri.
Many of these cases returned to their place of residence and then tested positive. At this time there are no positive cases from Kanakuk K-2 camps that reside in Stone County.
Kanakuk is working with SCHD and made the decision to shut down the K-2 camp for this term after being alerted to the suspected COVID-19 cases.
The decision to close has resulted in all campers, counselors and staff to return to their homes. SCHD will be working closely with Kanakuk Kamps to identify exposed individuals and quarantine those individuals, as necessary. More information will be released as it becomes available.
The health department encourages all residents to take appropriate precautions such as good hand hygiene and social distancing. CDC is also recommending cloth face coverings or masks as an additional, voluntary public health measure to help slow the spread of COVID-19 (N95 respirators should continue to be reserved for healthcare workers and other medical first responders).
The cloth face coverings or masks should be worn in areas of significant community-based transmission (e.g., grocery stores and pharmacies).

Holy spreading plague rats Batman!
Who could have ever predicted such a thing could happen to good church going bible readers?!
christians and pro-lifers have a lot of accounting and explaining to about the thousands of ppl they are actively permitting to die right now because of politics.
So much for the "Kids rarely catch or spread it" theory...
