The emerging corona virus mutation raises the infection rate among children and young people

With the increasing news about the development of several mutations of the emerging corona virus, here is the latest news about the dangers of one of the emerging corona virus mutations.


The percentage of people who are hospitalized on a daily basis with the new Corona virus in Britain has increased since the end of the second lockdown.

This comes after Britain announced a new mutation of the emerging corona virus, which affects younger age groups than usual, according to what a health care worker told "BBC NEW".

Does the emerging corona virus mutation affect different age groups?

Compared with the first wave last spring, more people from different age groups were admitted to hospitals in recent months, and infection was higher among adolescents and people in their twenties and thirties, but a small percentage of them required compulsory hospitalization.

However, the risk of serious illness or death is something that has not changed significantly from the past, so that the proportion of people under the age of 40 years has a death risk of 1%, and it rises to more than 5% for those over the age of 80 years, according to Imperial research College London in the first wave.

"The children's wards are usually occupied in the winter," said Professor Russell Venere, President of the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health.

"As cases rise, there will be a slight increase in the number of children that we see because of the virus, but the vast majority of children and young people have no symptoms or are very mild."

In the past few weeks, hospitals have seen entry between the ages of 18 and 64 increased by 40% per day, according to "Public Health England", compared to 40% for those aged 65-84 and 20% for those over 85.

Children under the age of 17 make up a very small percentage of hospitalizations if they are infected, 1%, and are unlikely to need treatment in intensive care.

The number of people in their mid-forties to mid-1960s who were injured and admitted to intensive care units increased, and most critically ill men were in intensive care in their sixties.
