BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) â Erie County leaders said there is an increase in COVID cases in children. Youth ages 17 and younger it was more than double than what it was last week. It went from 43 cases to 98 cases, Erie County Executive Mark Poloncarz said.
Poloncarz and Erie County Health Commissioner Dr. Gale Burstein said the uptick is largely being fueled by summer camps and schools. In July, we have seen more evidence of transmission in the summer schools and the camps than compared to what we saw during the school year, Dr. Burstein said.
With a month until school starting, and COVID-19 numbers starting to creep back up with the Delta variant, Erie County leaders spoke about their concerns with summer camps and summer schools on Wednesday.
