Dr. Charles Gardner, the district's chief medical officer of health, told ctvtoronto.ca on Wednesday that the district isn't saying which three camps are involved.

Parents can help by making sure they aren't sending sick children to camp, Gardner said.

Those symptoms include fever, cough, sore throats or a general sense of malaise. "If that's happening within seven days of them coming to a camp, they should not go," he said.

Gardner said the district thought there could be some outbreaks at camps this summer, given that some cases had occurred in schools.
