Youth is more vulnerable to this virus and comprises 47.3 per cent of the total infected people in the district while elders over 60 years of age contribute only 10 per cent. On a gender basis, men are 65 percent while women comprise 34 percent.
The youth is under the illusion that they have high immunity and will not be vulnerable to the corona virus but the study of the number of age groups broke this confusion. From April to 2nd September 2020, 4745 people have been affected by the corona virus in the district out of which 2245 people found in the age group of 18 to 45 years which contributes 47.3 percent of the total infected patients. The second place is in the age group of 46 to 60 years. Their number is 1331. 682 people under the age of 18 have been infected. At the same time, there are 482 people aged above 60 years. Based on gender, there are 3109 males and 1631 females among the 4745 infected people.
According to Dr. VP Singh, Additional Director, Medical Health and Family Welfare, Aligarh Division, mainly youths are active in the market that's why corona viruses are coming from there. Youth should play an important role in controlling the corona virus and understand the seriousness of this pandemic, but they are careless in using face masks, maintaining social distancing, and frequent hand washes.
