6 kids dead, 12 sick in viral outbreak at NJ rehab center

Six children are dead and 12 others sick following a severe viral outbreak at a rehabilitation center in New Jersey.

The state Department of Health on Tuesday confirmed 18 cases of adenovirus at the Wanaque Center for Nursing and Rehabilitation in Haskell, Passaic County.

Adenoviruses usually cause mild illnesses, but the health department says this outbreak is particularly severe because it is affecting medically fragile children with severely compromised immune systems.
