(CNN) Covid-19 case rates among children track much more consistently with overall case rates in a state than with trends in in-person learning in K-12 schools, according to a CNN analysis of state-level data. The five states with the least Covid-19 cases per 100,000 residents are also the five states with the lowest case rates among children: Hawaii, Vermont, Maine, Oregon and Washington. Similarly, four of the five states with the most Covid-19 cases per 100,000 residents are also those with the highest case rates among children: North Dakota, Tennessee, South Dakota and Rhode Island. However, while most states report cases among children through age 17 or 18, Utah only reports up to age 14. Florida is the only other state to cap this age group at 14.
