The 20-24 years age group is the hotspot for COVID-19 cases on the Isle of Wight, the latest figures have revealed.
Cases in that segment are rising faster than any other age group.
Figures released by Public Health England breakdown the age of recently found Covid-19 cases by date and account for the increase since it was last reported.
Between October 23 and 30, the latest data released, 59 new cases of the virus were found on the Isle of Wight, taking the total to 651.
Of the increase, 45 cases were registered in those aged between 0 to 59 but only 14 in those aged 60 and above.
No new cases were recorded in children under the age of 14, those between 80 and 84 or those over 90.
The figures, dating back to March, indicate there are more cases in those under 60 than those over — with a gap of nearly 90 cases. 370 cases have been found in the younger age group than 281 in the older.
The biggest increase of cases in the seven days up until October 30 was seen in young people aged between 20 and 24 with 11 new cases registered — taking the total in that age category to 51.
With 51 cases, that makes the 20 to 24 age range he second-highest on the Island for Covid-19 cases, as 54 cases have been found in those aged over 90.
Another six cases were also recorded in the 25 to 29 age range.
Increases were seen in the 55 to 59 age range as seven new cases were recorded, five new in those aged 60 to 64 and four in the 45 to 49 category.
The total age breakdown of COVID cases can be seen in the table, with the increased differences also shown.
Since the start of November more than 20 cases have been added to the Island’s coronavirus total, which is not available to breakdown by age yet.
