Children appeared to be less likely than adults to be infected or to have severe illness early in the COVID-19 pandemic; however, as the outbreak has progressed, larger numbers of children are getting infected. It’s unknown whether this increase in COVID-19 cases among children will also increase cases of MIS-C.
Thanks. Still a very low number, thankfully.
