Here is what we know so far.Are children at risk?This is one of the few questions where there is broad agreement.
Only a tiny proportion of children appear to have become seriously ill with COVID-19."There are three key questions: How much do children get COVID-19; how badly does it affect them; and do they spread it to others?" said Russell Viner, President of Britain's Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health."We only have good data about the second of these."Specialists writing for the British pediatric website Don't Forget The Bubbles (DFTB) said in a recent roundup of international research that only around one percent of critical cases involved children, while "deaths remain extremely rare".Do they get infected?The short answer.
