The United States has been infected with a new crown of more than 6 million children this year

Xinhua News Agency, Los Angeles, July 18 (Reporter Tan Jingjing) The latest report released by the American Academy of Pediatrics and Children's Hospital Association on the 18th shows that more than 6 million children in the United States have infected the new crown since this year.

The report shows that one week as of the 14th, more than 75,000 newly crown -in -crown -up cases in the United States were more than 75,000. The single -week increase was more than three times the same period last year. In the past 4 weeks, nearly 287,000 new cases of children infected in the United States. Since the outbreak of the new crown epidemic, more than 13.9 million children have been diagnosed with new coronal viruses in the United States.

The report pointed out that since the beginning of June, the proportion of children's infection cases reported every week across the United States has declined significantly, but this is actually caused by many new crown cases in children. The population of children in the United States accounted for about 22%of the total population of the country, and in the week of the 14th, the number of children reported by the United States accounted for only 11.7%of the total number of confirmed cases.

The definition of children in all parts of the United States is different, and most states set their age to 0 to 19. The American Academy of Pediatrics stated that at present it is urgent to collect more epidemic data of all ages to evaluate the severity of the new crown virus and the long -term potential impact of children's health.
