The longterm care center in Wanaque, N.J., where 10 children died from a fast-spreading virus, was not equipped to quarantine infected patients, according to an article on the Herald Mail website.
The Wanaque Center for Nursing and Rehabilitation did not have room to isolate the children when they became ill in the facility’s ventilator unit, according to the state's health commissioner.
Twenty-seven children have been sickened by the virus. All of the children were on ventilators and had compromised immune systems.
The cause of the outbreak and how the virus spread so quickly among the children remains unknown.
