'Simply stated, the delta variant has created a new and pressing risk.'
—and yet another national surge in cases—children are getting the virus at increasingly high rates.
Among children, COVID-19 cases are still relatively rare compared to rates in adults. And severe illness, as well as hospitalizations, remain quite uncommon. But the number of COVID-19 cases in kids began climbing in July after a drop in early summer, according to a new report from the and Children's Hospital Association. And over the last few weeks, those numbers have started an even sharper incline.
During the week ending July 22, 2021, the AAP counted 38,654 COVID-19 cases among children. The next week , there were 71,726 cases in kids, which is nearly double the previous week. The most recent data available, for the week ending August 5, there were 93,824 cases, “a continuing substantial increase,” the report says.
