from the American Academy of Pediatrics. In the past 2 weeks, there was a 4% increase in the number of child COVID-19 cases., nearly 4.3 million children have tested positive for COVID-19, representing 14.3% of total cases. But in the week ending Aug. 5, children represented 15% of weekly COVID-19 cases across the country.
“Almost 94,000 cases were added the past week, a continuing substantial increase,” according to the report. “After declining in early summer, child cases have steadily increased since the beginning of July.” Children still make up a small percentage of overall cases, and few get serious COVID-19 or die. That said, child hospitalizations are on the rise, and researchers are still unsure about the long-term effects on patients.
Fauci emphasized that teachers and school staff have two main tools to protect children: wearing masks and getting vaccinated. “If you want to be around children, you’ve got to do whatever you can to protect them,” he said. “And if you’re eligible to get vaccinated, get vaccinated.”MSNBC: “Dr. Fauci: There’s no doubt these vaccines will be fully approved by FDA.”American Academy of Pediatrics: “Children and COVID-19: State-Level Data Report, updated August 5, 2021.”
