Desk report: Children in the United States are most affected by the Corona Delta variant. The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported the data on Monday (August 9th), citing health experts. Besides, children are not being vaccinated. Due to which children are rapidly being attacked by Delta variants. Corona infections have increased in hospitals in Florida-Texas and Georgia since last July, according to the CDC. However, most of the hospital beds are for children and newborns. Delta variants have been identified in 90 percent of them. The CDC said an average of 192 children were hospitalized with Covid-19 every day in the United States in the past week until Tuesday. Compared to the previous week, the number of children admitted to the hospital with Covid-19 was 45.6 percent higher than the daily average. In this situation, it has been demanded to increase the number of emergency ICU beds in the hospitals. In the United States, children under the age of 12 are not yet covered by the corona vaccine program. However, they were urged to get out of the house following their hygiene rules. Since the onset of the epidemic last year, 45,000 children in the United States have been hospitalized with Kovid-19.”Everyone in the school has to wear a mask so that our children can learn in a safe environment all the time,” said Walensky, CDC director. And children 12 years and older should be vaccinated. Carlyle Simon, superintendent of Alachua County Public Schools in Florida, said the school board voted to wear the mask for the first two weeks. But the Florida governor banned making masks compulsory in schools. However, in addition to wearing a mask at school, the CDC recommends adequate ventilation and physical distance. The CDC director said those who took the full dose of the vaccine would be less likely to be infected with the delta type. But those who have not been vaccinated, including children, are at higher risk of infection and are unknowingly helping to create new strains of coronavirus, he said. “If we don’t vaccinate a large part of the population, we will not be able to stop this epidemic,” he said.
