ATLANTA — Nearly 2,000 Georgia children are being diagnosed with COVID-19 a day, according to new data from the Georgia Department of Health.

The state reported 16,915 new cases of the virus over the weekend and 71 new deaths.

The GDH does not break down new daily cases by age group, but the current seven-day average of cases in children ages 0 -17 is 1,823. Of those, children ages 10 -17 are seeing the highest numbers of new cases, with a seven-day-average of 1,101 per day testing positive for the virus.

More at link. Can the CDC not order states to report by age group?
