The United States has been hard hit by the virus, with more than 7.1 million reported infections and 205,085 deaths.

Some states fight spikes while others ease restrictions

As trends vary in the US, some local leaders are regressing toward normality while others are cracking down on efforts to combat the spread of the virus.

Chicago bars, restaurants, gyms and personal services will be able to expand service on October 1, due to "sufficient progress in the fight against COVID-19," Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot announced Monday.

“Over the past six months, we have asked a lot from our business community.

But each time, our businesses have stepped up, "Lightfoot said in a news release Monday.

“This next step in our reopening is good news for business owners.

As well as the communities they serve and the thousands of residents who work for them.

In California

And California, a state hard hit by the pandemic, is seeing a coronavirus positivity rate, hospitalizations and new cases trending downward, Governor Gavin Newsom said Monday.

But he warned that the numbers could rise again if residents do not remain vigilant.

Meanwhile, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said the state would release guidance earlier this week to reopen "covid-safe" homeless shelters, signaling an increase in cases among homeless camps. home.

Cases are also increasing at an "alarming" rate in parts of Brooklyn and Queens, the New York City Department of Health said.

Nearby, New Jersey will receive 2.6 million rapid coronavirus tests from the federal government to help combat spikes in cases.

The coronavirus and children

Children account for about 10% of coronavirus cases.

But people still need to pay attention to the spread of the virus in that age group, Dr. Anthony Fauci said Monday.

Children get infected.

And we better be careful to rule out infection in children, ”Fauci told CNN's Brian Stelter.

And he added: "The degree to which they transmit" the virus is not clear.

Some studies suggest they don't do it as "efficiently" as adults, said Fauci, who is director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and a member of the White House Coronavirus Task Force.

'Situation in evolution'

"But it is an evolving situation" and "you have to keep an open mind when it comes to a topic like what is the role of children in transmission."

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released a report on Monday that said COVID-19 among teens ages 12 to 17 was nearly twice as many in children ages 5 to 11. .

In schools

The report included data on 277,285 laboratory-confirmed cases among school-age children in the US from March 1 to September 19.

Among those cases, 37% were children 5 to 11 years old and 63% were adolescents.

The data could underestimate the true incidence of the disease among school-age children.

This, as tests were often prioritized for people with symptoms.

And those without symptoms may not have been tested, the researchers noted.

CNN's Holly Yan, Gregory Lemos, Kristina Sgueglia, Cheri Mossburg, Shelby Lin Erdman, and Mirna Alshariff contributed to this report.
