04 April 2020A growing number of young people or people under the age of 60 are seriously ill or dying from coronavirus: said Maria Van Kerkhove, technical manager of the WHO emergency program, according to the Independent ."We are seeing more young people who are seriously ill," said the expert. "Overall, most of the people seriously affected by this disease and hospitalized in the intensive care units are older and are people with previous diseases - he continued -. But in some countries we are seeing individuals in their thirties, forties and fifties who come hospitalized in intensive care and die ".
As is known, the virus does not spare children either. So far, among others, one boy has died in the USA, one in the United Kingdom and one girl in Belgium. In addition, one infant died in the state of Illinois and dozens of children worldwide tested positive.
