LOS ANGELES - A new report shows more than one in four coronavirus cases are among children — the highest ratio since the pandemic began, raising more questions about how best to keep kids safe as the highly infectious delta variant continues to surge.According to the report by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), children typically represent around 15% of total cumulated cases since the pandemic began.
But for the week ending Sept. 2, this number skyrocketed to 26.8% of reported weekly COVID-19 cases among children.RELATED: Record pediatric COVID-19 hospitalizations reported amid delta surge"As of September 2, more than 5 million children have tested positive for COVID-19 since the onset of the pandemic," the AAP wrote in its latest.
