Coronavirus cases among children are increasing according to the American Academy of Pediatrics. A new study by the ADA finds cases have increased at a faster rate among children and teenagers than among the general public.
As schools open across the country, there are new concerns about the virus spreading in class. Locally, Holy Cross High School in Northern Kentucky had to close temporarily due to a student testing positive for COVID-19. In the Lebanon City Schools district, 49 students were quarantined after three students tested positive for coronavirus.
