(CNN) A top health expert warns US needs a "comprehensive approach" to the Covid-19 pandemic , following a week of several states reporting alarming trends. Twenty-four states saw their number of new cases rise at least 10% this week from the week before, according to data from Johns Hopkins University. The county's seven-day average of new daily cases -- about 42,400 -- is more than 20% higher than where it was September 12, when it was at two-month low of about 34,300. A vaccination for children, the committee said, will depend on whether a vaccine has been tested in that population. Pediatric specialists recently called for Covid-19 vaccine trials to begin for children saying that population has been "stuck in neutral."
