Younger People Make Up Growing Percentage Of New Coronavirus Cases

reports that younger people “are making up a growing percentage of new coronavirus cases in cities and states where the virus is now surging, a trend that has alarmed public health officials and prompted renewed pleas for masks and social distancing.” The pattern “is drawing notice from mayors, governors and public health officials, and comes as a worrisome sign for cities and institutions as they look to the fall.” The rise in cases among younger people “could complicate the plans of leaders who are eager to open schools and universities, resume athletic events and return to normal life and a fully functioning economy.” https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/25/us/coronavirus-cases-young-people.html
