According to FCDPH, data shows an increas- ing case of coronavirus cases for younger peo- ple ages 10 to 30 years. In the same week cases and hospitalizations across the state are ris- ing, emergency room visits for COVID-19 symptoms among those 18 years and younger are exceeding those of seniors older than 65.
"These data are a sobering premonition of what we can expect once schools reopen this fall," said Dr. Rais Vohra, interim health officer for FCDPH. "We anticipate that Fresno County will continue to see a rise in COVID-19 case counts in our younger populations during the first few weeks of school."
