The county is conducting interviews and issuing isolation or quarantine orders as needed, Saratoga County spokesperson Christine Rush said.
Other camps including Camp Pontiac in Copake and the Jewish Community Center day camp in Niskayuna have also reported outbreaks. Camp Pontiac required its campers to get a negative test before coming and tested campers again before arrival, the newspaper reported.
