The summer increase in hospitalizations among children with COVID-19 has rapidly reversed since the start of the school year.
Children have consistently been among the least likely to fall seriously ill of COVID-19. In June, about one in 1 million children were admitted to a hospital with a confirmed infection every day, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). As the summer went on, however, the admission rate started to climb, reaching about five per million in early September.
