"Prior to the implementation of COVID-19 interventions, contacts were concentrated among people of similar ages and were highest among school-aged children and adolescents, and also common among adolescent children / parents and their parents, and middle-aged and elderly adults. But since the onset of the epidemic, these contact patterns have changed Substantial, "the team wrote," this study suggests that additional interventions among adults aged 20-49, such as mass vaccination, could lead to epidemic control and prevent deaths, "they added.



They estimated that 35- to 49-year-olds accounted for 41 percent of new infections by mid-August, and adults aged 20 to 34 were responsible for another 35 percent.

Children and adolescents accounted for only 6 percent.

People aged 50 to 64 accounted for 15 percent of infections.



“Over time, the proportion of age groups among reported deaths has been completely constant, suggesting that it is likely that very young people have not been the main source of a recurrent epidemic since summer 2020, and that instead changes in motility and behavior among the wider group of 20s adults 49 is the basis for the renewal of the epidemic, "the team wrote.
