The variant of concern (VOC) spreads across all age groups and children do not appear to be at higher risk compared to other age groups. However, with increased transmissibility, the variant does raise concern: if we do not continue our efforts and redouble the measures to slow its spread, there will be a higher impact on already stressed and pressurized health facilities. 4, record 1, English, - virus%20variant%20of%20concern
