According to the report of American Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) on September 30 local time, the new crown infection rate of children in Ohio is at a very high level, the number of hospitalized children is increasing, and the medical system is overloaded.
Ohio health experts said that as of September 29, there were more than 210 hospitalized children in the state, ranking the second in the United States. The phenomenon of child infection has been at a critical level. The staff of Dayton children's Hospital in Ohio said that affected by the delta mutant strain, the number of cases of children infected with the new crown has increased sharply. The number of cases treated in the hospital has set a new historical record, and the value has shown an "astronomical growth".
Due to the rising infection rate in children, six children's hospitals in Ohio jointly issued a warning with the Ohio children's Hospital in early September that the new crown infection in children in the state has posed a threat to the pediatric medical system. The report shows that the condition of infected children is getting worse, and many of them need to use respirators.
Michele nadolsky, head of the state's emergency clinical team, said that the growth of a large number of cases exhausted the medical staff, many nurses chose to leave, and there was a shortage of medical staff. The American Academy of Pediatrics and the children's Hospital Association said that although severe cases in children are still "uncommon", infection with new crowns may have long-term adverse consequences for children.
