There are signs, although it is not yet very clear, that Delta infection could cause more serious forms among young people and children, which was atypical until now," Gheorghita told a press conference.He added that young people, adolescents and children are also at a much higher risk of getting sick, being a much more communicable variant, and vaccination coverage for young people is much lower.
