New coronavirus cases are increasing among those in their 20s, 30s, and 40s. Here's why public-health officials think this is happening

Photo: Urbazon/Getty Images As coronavirus cases surge across the country, it seems the virus has shifted its aim. “It is obvious that we are seeing right now infections that are targeting younger individuals,” Dr. Robert Redfield, director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said during a media briefing on Thursday.

Testing has since become more widely available, which means more young people are being tested.
