According to ABC's report on September 6, with American children returning to school to start the new school year, a newly released report shows that the number of children's cases among the new COVID-19-19 cases in the United States has increased for two consecutive weeks, and the number of cases exceeded 90000 in the week ending September 1.
The latest report from the American Academy of Pediatrics and the children's Hospital Association shows that in the week from August 25 to September 1, there were 90639 new cases of covid-19 among children in the United States, an increase of 14% over two weeks ago. At that time, the number of children's cases was slightly less than 80000. Considering that many Americans who receive covid-19 tests at home by themselves have not submitted test results, experts believe that the actual number of children's cases may far exceed the number officially reported.
Since COVID-19, more than 14.5 million children have been diagnosed in the United States. Since the beginning of 2022, there have been about 6.65 million new confirmed cases in the United States, of which children account for about one fifth. US media said that despite the rising number of children's cases, there are still about 43.1 million eligible American children who have not been vaccinated.
