Out of those who provided figures, one individual was hospitalized and one was admitted to the ICU. The gender breakdown was 54 percent male and 46 percent female.

The American Academy of Pediatrics and the Children's Hospital Association stated that in the United States, children represent about 9 percent of all COVID-19 cases.
