“The patient profile for this wave includes younger patients and children under 12, which is significant in comparison to the previous three waves. These younger patients are overall not critically ill. “We are aware that it appears to be highly transmissible, leading to a big increase in numbers, but are unable to provide further evidence yet on the severity or impact on the individual. So far, a lower percentage of admitted Covid-19 patients require intensive care and ventilation.”
