State health officials are allowing medically fragile children to return to the Wanaque Center for Nursing and Rehabilitation where they were sickened in an adenovirus outbreak that has been blamed for 11 deaths, according to an article on the NorthJersey.com website.
Three children had been returned, with their families' permission, as of Nov. 23 after recovering at area hospitals.
Of the 34 sickened children, seven were still hospitalized. An unknown number of sick children at the center have been separated from those without symptoms.
The facility is still barring new children from being admitted to Wanaque, but it is admitting new residents to a ward for adults, which is in a different part of the building.
