Spain's youth infection rate increases, as health minister urges caution
The Peninsula
MADRID - Spain's health minister warned on Wednesday that young people can develop severe cases of COVID-19 and asked for their cooperation in taming an infection rate that has more than doubled in a week as the Delta variant tears through unvaccinated younger adults.
"One in every 100 cases in 20 to 24-year-olds is admitted to hospital," Carolina Darias told a news conference on Wednesday, adding that the majority of recent outbreaks were linked to end-of-term student parties. "Interactions between young people are multiplying...it is very important to ask them for responsibility but not to hold them responsible," she said.More Related News
