A new study conducted by Northwestern University and Chicago’s Lurie Children’s Hospital released on Thursday in the JAMA Pediatrics medical journal revealed that children could potentially be extremely prone to COVID-19 infection and transmission, possibly even more so than adults, Fortune reported.
“In a study of children under five who show mild to moderate symptoms of COVID-19, those kids were found to contain higher concentrations of the virus compared to older children, teens and adults,” stated the publication.
That said, it is true that for most infected kids, their symptoms are milder than what grown folks face when grappling with the virus.
Within the next month, schools across the country are struggling to decide whether they should return to in-person teaching or continue online classes until further notice. Even President Donald Trump is adamant that schools and college campuses should reopen come fall, going so far as to threaten cutting federal funding to those who refuse.
