No, that's not quite right. They recommended treatment for the 16 girls
who
reported having "contact" with the bats or didn't sleep under the
mosquito
netting that was provided against bugs.

The original recommendation was for about a thousand.

That seems to have changed today, so my news is a bit behind. OTOH, so
is yours. They're still trying to contact all of the girls, so there's
no final number, apparently.

Here's the news release straight from the local health department:

I haven't seen an update since August 6. (I've been watching this issue
because my girls camp at this site.)
