A teenager in Upstate New York has tested positive for coronavirus as more young Americans are facing severe cases of the virus.

The Democrat & Chronicle reports a Canandaigua Middle School student tested positive for COVID-19. The unnamed student is among three total cases confirmed in Ontario County.

“The teen is recovering and feeling better at this time,” officials said in a press release.

Canandaigua schools superintendent Jamie Farr told the D&C the student traveled to an unspecified part of the state “a couple of weeks ago and was then in attendance at school for two days after traveling.” Farr said the student is “nearly returned to good health" and their family is “in good spirits.”

Public health officials say the vast majority of people with coronavirus will only suffer mild or moderate symptoms, such as fever and cough, and will recover in a matter of weeks. Older people and those with pre-existing health conditions are most at risk of dying, but reports of younger people getting severe cases are increasing.

The New York Post reports a 20-year-old soccer coach in Spain died despite a doctor saying there was “no need to worry,” according to his family. A 34-year-old man in California died after traveling to Florida and visiting Disney World and Universal Studios; the parks closed on March 15, a week after his trip.

The New York Daily News reports at least two babies have tested positive for coronavirus in Britain, which has more than 2,600 cases. A newborn and his mother both tested positive for COVID-19 in London and had to be treated in separate hospitals, according to the Daily Mail.

The New York Times reported Wednesday that nearly 40 percent of coronavirus patients requiring hospitalization in the U.S. are between ages 20 and 54. The Sun-Sentinel reports a 6-year-old girl from Boca Raton has tested positive for COVID-19, the youngest case in the state.

And while younger people are more likely to recover from coronavirus, they can be asymptomatic and extremely contagious. NBC reports some Florida beaches closed this week after Gov. Ron DeSantis refused to, despite large crowds of teens and young adults partying for spring break.

U.S. Surgeon General Jerome Adams has urged celebrity influencers to help Generation Z and millenials take the virus more seriously.

“...We need to get Kylie Jenner, we need to get our social media influencers out there and helping folks understand that look, this is serious,” Adams said on “Good Morning America” Thursday. "People are dying. We again are seeing new data emerging from Italy that suggest that young people may be at higher risk in different situations than what we previously thought. But think about your grandmother, think about your grandfather, think about that fact that you’re spreading disease, which could ultimately be what kills them.”

Jenner, 22, pleaded to her 166 million Instagram followers to stay inside and “practice social distancing, self quarantine.”

”If you live with your parents, you don’t want to go home and get your parents sick,” the “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” star said. “You might have it and not even know and be infecting other people. It’s serious, and the only way that we’re going to slow this down is if we do this because there is not a cure right now.”

“Nobody is immune to this. Millennials are not immune to this,” Jenner continued. “New evidence actually shows that a large percentage in the hospital right now are young adults... We’re going to get through this together. We just have to listen to each other, respect each other, self quarantine."
