High COVID-19 rate in 0-19 age group in India; frequent post-jab infections with Delta variant: Study The COVID-19 Weekly Epidemiological Update, released by the World Health Organisation this week, said a cross-sectional study, which is not yet peer reviewed, focussed on demographic characteristics, including severity of the illness and mortality rate. A cross-sectional study conducted in India among COVID-19 cases has found an increased number of infections among the younger age group of 0-19 years and women, higher mortality rate and more frequent incidences of post-vaccination infections with Delta variant as compared to a non-Variant of Concern lineage. “Using viral genomic sequences from 9,500 COVID-19 patients, the study found an increased number of infections among younger age groups and women, a lower mean age for infection and symptomatic illness/hospitalisation, higher mortality and more frequent incidences of post-vaccination infections with Delta variant compared to the non-VOC variant,” the WHO update said. The South-East Asia Region reported over 2,78,000 new cases and over 4,300 new deaths, decreases of 19 per cent and 18 per cent respectively as compared to the previous week.
