The governmental health agency maintains that pediatric cases of COVID-19 have been increasing since March
, children, who comprise 22% of the entire population, currently account for 7% of all coronavirus cases in the U.S. as pediatric cases increased over the spring and early summer. “The number and rate of cases in children in the United States have been steadily increasing from March to July 2020,” the CDC wrote in their updated guidance.
Updated CDC guidance notes “steadily increasing” rate of Covid-19 in children, suggests up to 45% of child cases may be asymptomaticThey also pointed out that the number of infections might actually be greater, due to the fact that many children are asymptomatic and therefore, are not tested. “The true incidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection in children is not known due to lack of widespread testing and the prioritization of testing for adults and those with severe illness.
They also explained that, while children “likely have the same or higher viral loads in their nasopharynx compared with adults and that children can spread the virus effectively in households and camp settings,” they are less likely to end up in the hospital. “Hospitalization rates in children are significantly lower than hospitalization rates in adults with COVID-19, suggesting that children may have less severe illness from COVID-19 compared to adults.
