Pre-school children gather around a table inside their classroom as schools reopened in Singapore on June 2, 2020, as the city state eased its partial lockdown imposed to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in Singapore. Photo: AFPA British study states that only about four percent of children and teens have long-lasting COVID-19 symptoms.
Most children with COVID-19 recover within a week, but a small percentage experience long-term symptoms, according to a new study of more than 1,700 British children. The researchers found that 4.4 percent of children had symptoms that last four weeks or longer, while 1.8 percent have symptoms that last for eight weeks or longer.
The findings suggest that what has sometimes been called “long COVID” may be rarer in children than adults. In a previous study, some of the same researchers found that 13.3 percent of adults with COVID-19 had symptoms that lasted at least four weeks; while 4.5 percent had symptoms that lasted at least eight weeks.
