The groups said 70,630 new pediatric cases were reported between August 20 and September 3, a 16% increase in pediatric cases in two weeks, to at least 513,415 cases, the groups said in their weekly report on pediatric coronavirus cases. .
“Numerous cases are reported among black and Hispanic children and where there is a lot of poverty. We must work harder to address the social inequalities that contribute to this inequality.”
The report states that U.S. Children represent about 10% of all cases reported in. Child cases are likely to be reported because of inconsistent state data being collected.
O’Leary added, “Now we’re going into the flu season. We need to take this seriously and implement the public health measures we know can help.”
“It involves wearing masks, avoiding large crowds and maintaining social distance. In addition, getting an influenza vaccine for everyone this year will be really important. These measures will help keep everyone, including children, safe.”
Pediatricians say it is more important than ever to make sure children get flu shots or protective nasal sprays before the end of October.
That is why the spread of two respiratory diseases at the same time – the flu and coronavirus – will confuse doctors, parents and caregivers. Also, hospitals and clinics can be burdened with a double burden.
Children with covid-19 also grow up and have at least one health condition.
