Yosemite Works to Rid Campsites of Plague After Camper Infected
An outbreak of the plague among wildlife at the famed Yosemite National Park has led officials to close down two campsites in an effort to stop the spread of disease to people.
Officials said they are working to protect campers after a child contracted the plague after visiting the park’s Crane Flat campground. Medical experts are attempting to determine if the child’s case can be definitively connected to the cases of plague found in wildlife in the area or if they contracted the bacterial disease at a different location.
