WASHINGTON: An average of 100,000 cases a day have been reported in the United States over the past three days, with 15 percent of cases being reported in children, raising concerns among the government. A study by the American Academy of Pediatrics-AAP found that 94,000 children were treated for corona infections in the past week.

However, the number of children admitted to the hospital for treatment is less than two per cent and the death toll is very low.

Currently, 60 per cent of children over the age of 12 have been given both doses of corona vaccine and 70 per cent of children have been given one dose of corona vaccine. The Pfizer vaccine has been approved in the United States for children over the age of twelve. According to the Center for Disease Control, adolescents between the ages of five and 15 are more likely to be victims of corona.

Corona epidemics, meanwhile, have swept through Louisiana, Florida and Arkansas. The death toll in Arkansas has risen by 18 percent in the past week. Hospitalization has seen the highest increase of 40 per cent in six months due to the increase in the number of corona cases in the country.

Most public events have been canceled due to the epidemic. Florida has seen an increase in hospitalization for eight consecutive days. Meanwhile, Canadian Transport Minister Omar Alghabra tweeted that the ban on direct flights from India to Canada has been extended until September 21.

This news is shocking for the students who are currently leaving for Canada to study in Gujarat. Currently, tickets to Canada are also expensive due to the lack of direct flights, which has disrupted their budgets. The World Health Organization, meanwhile, said three drugs were being developed to prevent the deaths of corona patients receiving treatment at the hospital.

These three drugs include the malaria drug Artesunate, the cancer drug Imatinib and the inflexinib. The effects of these drugs on the immune system are currently being investigated. A group of experts has recommended continuing a policy of strict lockdowns in New Zealand, which has a population of 50 million, as only 26 people have died in the Corona epidemic.

The group's head, epidemiologist David Skeg, said it was possible to continue the strategy even after more people from outside began arriving. The Corona epidemic has had no effect on lifestyle in New Zealand, as people in Britain and the US are now beginning to accept living with the corona virus. Borders should be kept closed for at least another six months to make this strategy a success.
