Coronavirus Cases Among Kids Hit Pandemic High After Summer Dip

Huff Post  

LOADING ERROR LOADING About 252,000 new coronavirus cases were reported among children last week, according to data compiled by two health organizations. This marks the largest number of new pediatric COVID-19 cases in a single week since the pandemic began, and it comes as millions of kids head back to school. This surge in pediatric cases between Aug. 26 and Sept. 2 represents nearly 27% of all new COVID-19 cases reported during that time period, according to the weekly report by the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Children’s Hospital Association. “However, there is an urgent need to collect more data on longer-term impacts of the pandemic on children, including ways the virus may harm the long-term physical health of infected children, as well as its emotional and mental health effect.” Over the past month, roughly 55,000 children have been admitted to U.S. hospitals with cases of COVID-19.
