After an adenovirus outbreak killed nine children at a New Jersey longterm healthcare facility, the state Department of Health launched an infection control campaign to ensure proper protocols followed in care of medically fragile children at three other facilities, according to an article on the NJ Spotlight website.
The education and training campaign on infection prevention and control practices targeted the state’s other pediatric specialty hospitals, following a deadly viral outbreak at the Wanaque Center for Nursing and Rehabilitation in Passaic County.
The Wanaque center suspended admissions following the news that 18 people had been infected with the virus, which is not considered a wider public health threat.
The virus is most common among individuals who live in proximity, like military quarters or college dorms.
