According to CDC, around 20% of the reported cases were found in young adults. Young adults in their 30s are more likely to transmit COVID-19 to their friends, family and acquaintances. According to a study that involved 3000 young adult patient with age ranging between 18 to 34, different presentations and prognosis was observed. The outcomes revealed - Patients aged 18-34 required hospital care - 21% of the hospitalized patients required ICU - 10% of the hospitalized patients required breathing machines - 2.7% of the hospitalized patients died Young adults are at risk of contracting COVID-19 because of - Public dealing jobs e.g. public transportation, service stations, stores etc - On-campus studies where they contract virus and transmit it to their families - Wrong confidence about strong immunity among young adults convinces them to neglect SOPs - Improper diet weakens the immune system
