Nearly 60% of new COVID-19 cases are in adults between 18 and 24 years old. Adults under 24-years-old represent nearly 1.7 million of the nearly 2.9 million cases of coronavirus in that age group. According to UPI, 96% of these cases experienced symptoms, agency researchers said. Children aged 5 to 17 years, make up nearly 35% of all reported cases in people 24 years of age and younger. The data was released Wednesday by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
A relative handful of Americans have received the vaccine to protect against the novel coronavirus. But according to HuffPost, it's unclear if those lucky few can still pass along the virus to others, even if they themselves aren't infected. Likewise, it's important to remember that even after getting the jab, it takes the body at least a month to build up its immunity to COVID-19. Therefore, it's essential to continue following proven public health measures, like universal masking, handwashing, and physical distancing. Experts say Americans shouldn't start to relax on observing these measures until roughly 70% of the population has been vaccinated.
