The boy's death isn't the first among children in the US. In Florida alone, at least seven minors have died from Covid-19. Last month, a 9-year-old girl who had no underlying medical conditions was the youngest to die in the state.
In Georgia, a second grader tested positive for Covid-19 after attending the first day of school this week, the Cherokee County School District told CNN.
Chatham County is reporting 5,441 confirmed cases of the virus and 74 deaths.
The state of Georgia has reported 204,895 cases and 4,026 deaths.
