The American Academy of Pediatrics and the Children's Hospital Association stated that in the United States, children represent about 9% of all COVID-19 cases. The Mayo Clinic points out that kids of all ages can catch COVID-19 but most don’t become as sick as adults and some show no symptoms at all.
