The World Health Organization has warned that young people are not immune from coronavirus and must avoid socialising and communicating it to older, more vulnerable people.
They say the choices made by the young can be "the difference between life and death for someone else.
WHO’s remarks follow reports that young people in many countries are being complacent about health warnings, because of the greater susceptibility to the virus among older patients.
Over 11,000 patients have died from the Covid-19 respiratory illness worldwide.
Nearly 250,000 patients have tested positive overall.
The coronavirus outbreak was first recorded in China in December. But now the centre of the pandemic is Europe.
In Italy - where the virus has killed more people than in any other country - the death toll rose by 627 on Friday, reaching a total of 4,032, making it the deadliest day for one country since the outbreak began.
