Infections (e.g., vomiting and diarrhea) spread easily in campground settings. The overall health condition of an infected person can deteriorate quickly. If you’re sick you should stay home to recuperate, and if you get a stomach flu during the services, you should go home to treat it. If you end up in the hospital because of a stomach flu you should mention that you were at the Summer Services so that the cause of a possible epidemic can be traced.
Clean hands are especially important in preventing an epidemic. You should wash your hands with soap and water and apply a disinfectant to your dried hands after using the WC. Also apply a disinfectant to your hands before eating.
You should also have a disinfectant handy if you are lodging in an RV or a tent. The convenience store sells disinfectants.
Clean drinking water is available at the drinking water faucets or you can buy bottled water from the convenience store. If you buy food from the bulk food sales point, buy just enough for one meal. Food goes bad quickly in warm weather.
Pets are not allowed at the service site for safety and hygiene reasons. Reserve a place for your pet at a kennel during the services.
