More people from young age groups are getting infected with COVID-19, the World Health Organization warns

"We are clearly seeing a very significant increase of proportion of infections in the younger age groups — so in the age groups under five, up to 15, and indeed up to 29 years," WHO country representative Rabindra Abeyasinghe told CNN Philippines' The Final Word.

Abeyasinghe also cautioned the public not to depend on a vaccine since it's still"on the pipeline," and instead urged to prioritize following health safety measures such as physical distancing, cough etiquette and hand hygiene.
