We reviewed 14 studies of persisting symptoms following #COVID19 in #children & #adolescents
Most had major limitations and should be interpreted with caution.
True risk is likely to be nearer 1 in 100 than often quoted 1 in 7.

To reassure parents, a reminder of some key facts about #COVID in #children:
Â
#SARSCoV2 infection remains asymptomatic or mild in the vast majority of children, even with the #DeltaVariant. Hospitalisation and deaths from COVID are still rare in this age group.

However, the greater transmissibility of the Delta variant means there is more COVID in *all* age groups, including children, so we will see more paediatric cases.
As a large number of older people are now vaccinated, the increase is blunted in the elderly so, compared with earlier in the pandemic, a higher *proportion* of current cases will be in children: this can give the mistaken impression that the Delta variant is targeting children.
