After the United States recorded an unprecedented number of new pediatric COVID-19 infections last month, new cases among children have fallen for the second week in a row, according to updated statistics released on Monday.
According to a recent study from the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Children’s Hospital Association, about 632,000 children tested positive for COVID-19 last week, a significant decrease from the highest level of 1,150,000 recorded the week ending Jan. 20.

The AAP and CHA both said that more age-specific data is needed to assess the severity of sickness caused by novel variations as well as possible long-term impacts.
