Over 800 children and teenagers have been affected by coronary in Kosovo

Of the some 14,000 who since the beginning of the pandemic have been infected by COVID-19, over 800 are children and teenagers.

According to IKSHPK data, between 0 and 9 years, 334 children have been infected.

However, the oldest age groups in children are between 10 and 19 years, with the number of those infected to 489, reports KOHA.

Pristina, which leads to the number of infected from the beginning of the pandemic, has had 144 infected children who belong to age groups 0 to 14 years.

But, so far in Kosovo, there is only one baby who has died of the coronobrus.

The eight-month-old baby, who died three weeks ago from COVID-19, had other accompanying diseases.

Some 40 infected children have received hospital treatment at the Clinic of Pediatrics so far, until, according to the director, a 2-month-old baby is considered the youngest child infected by COVID-19.

And in the ward, which has been divided from July to treat children with COVID-19, currently only one child in good health is being treated.

This Wednesday, however, eight other children have been tested as suspects with COVID-19.

Temperature, vomiting, diarrhea and pneumonia are the main symptoms shown in the affected children, similar symptoms similar to other infections, which, according to the director of the Clinical Clinic, Drita Qosaj-Telak create difficulties in diagnosis.

Telaku has said that recent days have increased the number of children who are sick and in need of hospital treatment.

However, she has added that children are equally endangered by COVID-19 as adults and can carry it the same as adults.
