Recent Studies: Children can be infectious for weeks

At a time when more and more countries are again opening schools and gardens, disturbing studies are being published regarding the role of children in the Corona pandemic. They will fuel even more debate about the risk of infecting children in schools and gardens. Doctors of “Children National Hospital” in Washington have discovered that infected children, even without symptoms of COVID-19, can spread the SARS virus. CoV-2 for weeks. Because they show very little or no symptoms, they may unwittingly infect people in the environment. Previously, there were researchers from Boston who had proved that children and young people in surprise show a significant gathering of the virus.

For the latest study, published online on August 28, 2020, in JAMA Paddys, experts Roberta L. DeBias and Meghan Delanney have praised the data of 91 children under surveillance in 22 hospitals in South Korea. Various US Health System, South Korea, those who have tested positively with COVID-19, stay in hospital until they have passed infection and no more symptoms”, says Dr. DeBias.

According to the study, about 22% of children did not develop symptoms, 20% were at the beginning asimtomatic, but later developed simptons, and 58% were in the first symptoms test. The duration of symptoms was very different, and it began from three days to three weeks. A fifth of asmatomatic patients and about half of patients with symptoms transmitted the SARS-CoV-2 virus after three weeks, but this does not directly reflect infectiousness. The authors of the study agree on how there are even before that many unexplained questions depending on the role of children and youth on pandemic and that their results will spark debate.

The virus's biggest focus on the smallest?

A large concentration of the virus, researchers from Boston have discovered especially among young children. They have checked evidence seized in the nose and throat of 49 children and youths under 21 years of age. According to the study, more SARS-CoV-2 viruses were diagnosed by many than by adults, who were in intensive care because of the disease. According to the magazine “The Journal of Mediatrics” in the study published on August 1, 2020, on younger children have found much less ACE-2 receptors than on young people and adults. Emergency ACE-2. It's considered the entry gate of the virus into the body cells.

Indigestion Children?

Since Corona's pandemic, part of the discussion is deeply discussed about the role of children and young people in the pandemic crisis. Clearly, even young ones can infect others. It is also known that an infection in young children has mild symptoms but that there are also cases of virus - related deaths or long - term consequences. This does not make young people like top superspreader or infectious, but children in schools, gardens, friends and leisure activities often have much more social contacts than adults. The past few months have shown that they, as well as many adults, do not exactly follow the rules of the distance of the mask, and often have to be forced to do so.
