Nearly 100 COVID-19 cases linked to Illinois summer camp, officials say

Nearly 100 cases of coronavirus have been linked to a camp in Illinois where indoor masking was not required and vaccination status was not checked, officials said Monday, adding that one unvaccinated young adult required hospitalization. 

The majority of 85 cases involved teens who attended the mid-June camp session, although some involved adult staff members.  Eleven additional cases were reported after several individuals who were at the camp also attended a nearby conference, the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) said. Among those cases, 70% occurred in unvaccinated people.
