Young adults majority of new virus cases in Canada

Canadians under the age of 39 make up a clear majority of new cases of COVID-19 in Canada, health authorities said Sunday, warning young adults they are not "invincible" against the disease. For the week ending July 22, the incidence rate was highest among young men and women aged 20-29, followed by those aged 30-39.  Canadian health authorities pointed out that, of the cases of COVID-19 reported to public health last week, 63 percent involved people under 39 years of age, of whom roughly one-third were hospitalized. According to the latest available figures, Canada has so far recorded some 113,800 cases of the new coronavirus and 8,900 deaths.
