More than one-third of kids who have Covid-19 are asymptomatic, meaning they show no symptoms, according to the study published in the journal CMAJ. Because asymptomatic patients feel well and don’t realize they have it, they socialize with friends and unintentionally spread the virus. Although cough, runny nose and sore throat were found to be the most common symptoms among children with Covid-19 infection, these symptoms were seen even more among those with negative results.
Takeaway: AAP recommends that everybody should follow the basic safety measures such as wearing a protective mask, frequent handwashing, keeping distance, and avoiding meeting indoors.
