Florida sees more coronavirus in children

Doctors in Florida say they're seeing more coronavirus infections among children as students return to classrooms. There has been increase in cases among children in July and August at Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital in Hollywood, Chief Medical Officer Dr. Ronald Ford says. Dr. Ronald Ford, Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital said "For the last several weeks we have seen an enormous increase in the number of positive patients for COVID-19. Most of these children are coming from the emergency department and most of them are not sick enough to come into the hospital, however those that are admitted are sicker than what we've seen before and many of them are requiring care in our intensive care units."

About 20 children with the coronavirus sought treatment at the South Florida hospital's emergency department in June.
