The tally of people infected with the coronavirus after attending a high\u002Dprofile CDC conference in April has risen to at least 181
In a “Know Before You Go” document shared with The Washington Post, CDC organizers encourage attendees at the June conference to wear their “own high-quality masks and, if possible, also carry COVID-19 rapid tests with them.” Organizers of the second conference were informed about the COVID outbreak at the earlier event, CDC spokeswoman Kristen Nordlund said. The agency will have masks available if employees want to wear one, she said..
The virus can cause significant illness, primarily in unvaccinated people, older adults, people with underlying health conditions and those with weakened immune systems. Among the 181 who were sickened at the CDC conference, the median age was 38, nearly all were younger than 65, and two-thirds were women, Nordlund said. No severe illnesses were reported.Article content
“At a minimum, I think it would be useful for conference organizers to inform participants of what steps are being taken to reduce the risk for COVID-19 transmission, so that participants can make informed risk assessments about any additional steps they may want to take, like masking.”Article content
