Adults are reported to be the only group still transmitting the infectious virus. This was concluded after a study conducted by a team of researchers from Imperial College London using cell phone data from more than 10 million people in the US. The findings showed that adults between the ages of 20 and 49 are the only ones most responsible for the rising COVID cases. Out of 100, about 65 cases of disease came from those belonging to this age group. Children as well as teenagers have reported the slightest spread of the virus.
Older adults are more vulnerable to the virus but less likely to spread to others. Consistent with the data, children ages 9 and younger than 9 contributed to less than 5 percent of the disease, while those aged 10 to 19 were responsible for less than 10 percent.
