\n A Georgia sleepaway camp that required masks for counselors was forced to close in June after more than 260 attendees contracted coronavirus, the Centers for Disease Control said.<\/p>\n

Out of 344 campers and staff tested for the COVID-19 virus, 260 came back positive in the weeks after the camp closed, according to the CDC\u2019s analysis, which was released on Friday.<\/p>\n

The camp \u2014 identified as YMCA Camp High Harbour by local outlet WSB-TV \u2014 opened its doors to overnight campers on June 21, only to shut down for good six days later.<\/p>\n

In that short time, dozens of campers managed to get sick: 51 of the camp\u2019s 100 kids aged 6 to 10 tested positive, according to the CDC. Children accounted for 168 of the 260 positive cases, though older counselors were more likely to contract the disease.<\/p>\n

Just 74 percent of camp attendees who tested positive experienced symptoms, the CDC \u2014 primarily fever, headache and sore throat.<\/p>\n

The outbreak occurred despite \u201cmultiple\u201d precautionary measures adopted by camp officials, according to the CDC report, but mask usage was not universal and not required for campers.<\/p>\n

Kids also slept in \u201crelatively large cohorts\u201d in cabins with minimal air circulation, where \u201cengaging in regular singing and cheering likely contributed to transmission,\u201d CDC researchers said.<\/p>\n

\u201cSARS-CoV-2 spread efficiently in a youth-centric overnight setting, resulting in high attack rates among persons in all age groups,\u201d the researchers wrote.<\/p>\n

\u201cChildren of all ages are susceptible to SARS-CoV-2 infection and, contrary to early reports, might play an important role in transmission.\u201d<\/p>\n

YMCA of Metro Atlanta officials now say they \u201cregret\u201d the decision to open.<\/p>\n

\u201cAttending Camp High Harbour is a tradition numerous generations of Y families look forward to every summer,\u201d the organization said in a statement to NBC News<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cMany of these individuals reached out to the Y to express their desire for us to open our resident camps in an effort to create normalcy in their children\u2019s lives due to the detrimental impact of COVID-19,\u201d the statement continued.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis weighed heavily in our decision to open, a decision in retrospect we now regret.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
