Young People Could Spread Virus To Vulnerable Older People

Update: 2020-08-28 07:30 GMT
The World Health Organisation recently warned that young people, who may be unaware they're infected, are driving the spread of coronavirus.

According to researchers, People aged 20-29 have continually had the highest rates of virus cases. The virus may be present for several days before there are any symptoms, and many young people will have few or no symptoms at all. With their knowledge, they are transferring it to their family members and the aged people in the homes are facing heavy risks. It also said there was an increased risk of deaths.

WHO Europe chief Dr Hans Henri P. Kluge said young people could spread to more vulnerable older people and cause an uptick in deaths. He said younger people are more likely to come into closer contact with the elderly as the weather cools across the continent and families move activities inside.
