At least six children have died and 12 others were infected during a severe viral outbreak at a New Jersey facility, according to the state’s health department on Oct. 23.
“Unfortunately, the particular strain of adenovirus (#7) in this outbreak is affecting medically fragile children with severely compromised immune systems,” the department said to Pix11. “The combination of a worse strain of adenovirus together with a fragile population has led to a more severe outbreak.”
