Some people may think that the chances of infecting young children with the emerging Covid-19 virus are rare, or not possible cases, but the emergence of three cases among infants in Britain has upset these concepts, and raised many questions about the possibility of exposure to children at early ages Very infected with this virus.
British health experts have confirmed that children may be less likely to be infected with the Corona virus, and those who are infected may have only mild symptoms in most cases, with no deaths among children because of Covid 19 until now. China, the epicenter of the world, recorded only 2.4% of childhood cases, and most of them were mild and curable, except for about 0.2% of serious cases, but they did not record any deaths.
The British Daily Mail newspaper quoted Professor Russell Venerer, President of the Royal College of Medicine and Health of the Child, stressing the limitations of infection among children, with the possibility that young people have equal access to adults with the chances of infection, but children do not show any symptoms, or that they They are mild symptoms, such as mild fever, some minor aches, and a slight cough. In Britain, no child has yet been converted to artificial respiration, or special treatments are required, usually severe symptoms.
Although the symptoms do not appear on children, they can also act as a powerful carrier of infection to other people, hence the need to adhere to health rules, including washing hands with soap and water throughout the day. On the other hand, the mechanism of interaction of children and adults with this virus is still confusing to doctors, especially since the risk of death or the emergence of acute symptoms as a result of the infection increases with the age of the person, and it is also possible that newborns are more at risk of developing symptoms, compared to older children, Perhaps because their immune system is still in the making, it takes some time to be able to fight viruses.
