A camper in one of the summer camps at Sawnee Mountain Preserve near Cumming has tested positive for COVID-19, Forsyth County announced Tuesday.

The individual, who was asymptomatic, was attending a camp this week and was tested as a prerequisite for a different camp next week, according to a county Facebook posting.

“All involved campers and staff have been notified,” the county said, and it is now working with public health officials regarding contact tracing, additional testing and self-quarantine measures.
