Research out of Winnipeg is on the front lines in the race to figure out how at risk children are to COVID-19. Dr. Terry Klassen, president and CEO at the Children’s Hospital Research Institute of Manitoba (CHRIM), is co-leading a new global study looking to improve how children with COVID-19 are diagnosed and treated. “So we need to be prepared, we need to recognize it early and we really need to make sure that they get the best care possible.” Led by Dr.
Stephen Freedman, a Calgary-based pediatric emergency doctor and clinician scientist, the study will collect data from some 12,500 pediatric patients with respiratory concerns.
