Four cases of enterovirus D68 have been confirmed, all in Southern California. One was in Ventura County; three others were in San Diego County.

More instances of the disease were expected as results from lab tests come back, the California Department of Public Health said in announcing the cases.

Hospital tells children to stay away

Dr. Adam McCall says, “A hospital is a place for sick people, and sick people typically have immune systems that are not working well, and so what we want to do is make sure that kids that could potentially carry this virus are not bringing the virus inside the hospital.”
