Wisconsin says children account for more COVID-19 cases than any other age group

Children in Wisconsin account for more COVID-19 cases in the state than any other age group this week, according to new data.

Figures from Wisconsin’s Department of Health Services show that residents under the age of 18 accounted for 1,126 COVID-19 cases. Adults age 35 to 44 had the next highest case count, at 579.

The number of cases for children is still a significant decline from the previous week, in which 4,686 children tested positive for the coronavirus.

Almost 41 percent of Wisconsin residents between the ages of 12 and 15 are fully vaccinated against the coronavirus, while nearly 47 percent of Wisconsinites age 16 to 17 are fully vaccinated.
