Covid-19 complication seen in children is 'rare', WHO says

WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus.

The “vast majority” of children with Covid-19 have mild cases and recover completely, but a small number in a few countries have developed a rare inflammatory syndrome, the World Health Organization (WHO) said on Wednesday.

Italian and British medical experts are investigating a possible link between the coronavirus pandemic and clusters of severe inflammatory disease in infants who are arriving in hospital with high fever and swollen arteries.
