Two children are reported to have died from COVID-19—a 10-month-old and a 14-year-old boy.
Harish Nair, Chair of Paediatric Infectious Diseases and Global Health at the U.K.'s University of Edinburgh, also said children and infants under the age of five appear to be at higher risk of developing more severe symptoms.."Even if children are at comparatively lower risk for severe disease, children with underlying health conditions are at substantially higher risk."
"The emergency preparedness leaders at my hospital have done a terrific job planning, preparing, and mobilizing. We are seeing cases in adults in our area, but not yet in kids. Nonetheless our hospital is ready." "This means, unfortunately, no play dates or parties. Outdoor activities that don't involve close contact with other kids, such as a walk in the park, are great to get out of the house and get fresh air. There are lots of educational and fun online things to do. And video chatting with friends and family can really help all of us, even kids, deal with the isolation we feel."
