That means around 11% of all the kids in America who have been infected with COVID caught it in the last two weeks. Dr. David Peterman is the CEO of Primary Health Medical Group and he’s also a pediatrician.
He tells Idaho Matters that over the last week, he has seen a 40% positivity rate among 13 to 18-year-old kids in the Treasure Valley as the omicron variant rages.
