Recent Rise in U.S. Covid-19 Cases Driven by Younger People - The Wall Street Journal

Younger people who haven’t been vaccinated are helping drive a rise in new Covid-19 cases, health officials are finding.

Since January, K-12 sports transmission in Michigan has been highest in basketball, with 376 cases and 100 clusters; in hockey, with 256 cases and 52 clusters; and in wrestling, with 190 cases and 55 clusters.

Overall, cases and clusters have occurred in over 15 sport settings, data from the state shows.

Now, we’re definitely seeing cases of the variant arise in the general community,” said Emily Toth Martin, an infectious-disease epidemiologist at University of Michigan School of Public Health.
