Concern in Asturias: the cumulative incidence in young people between 15 and 25 years of age doubles the global marker | BE Gijón | Today for Today Gijón

The sprint final in the race against him coronavirus it’s their turn youths after the battle against the virus in the first waves of the pandemic was fought by the elderly and requires limit social life and protect themselves and their environment, according to the coordinator of Covid Programs of the Ministry of Health, María José Villanueva.

Villanueva has stressed that in this final part of the third wave and this kind of “backwater or plateau” in the evolution of the pandemic the age pyramid has been totally reversed with respect to the situation that occurred during the first months. cumulative incidence at fourteen days in Asturias for each 100,000 inhabitants is currently at 175 cases (high risk), but in the case of the included age between 15 and 25 years that parameter is located in 333 (extreme risk), a figure that doubles that of the population as a whole, just the opposite of what happened in previous waves.

“Right now the virus attacks the vulnerable, which are the young because they are not vaccinated yet and because their life is more socially active than that of an elderly person”, he warns. Thus, Villanueva appeals to the need to be careful in social encounters and meeting places in the open air or in sports activities “where they believe that then there is no danger”, areas in which the highest number of outbreaks is currently being detected.
