Number and rate of cases, steadily increasing from March to July 2020
True incidence not known
As of 3rd August
0 – 17 years
22% of the US population
7.3% of all cases
Hospitalization rates in children, significantly lower
It is unclear
If children are as susceptible to infection compared with adults
If they can transmit the virus as effectively as adults
Children likely have the same or higher viral loads
Children can spread the virus effectively in households and camp settings
Community mitigation measures and school closures, therefore low transmission so far
