This week, MMWR published four reports. One describes the likely role of younger adults in the spread of COVID-19 and another describes characteristics of approximately 100,000 health care workers in the United States with COVID-19. This week’s issue also looked at contact tracing efforts in North Carolina and how Utah residents in more disadvantaged areas were more likely to be infected with the virus that causes COVID-19.
