when it comes to diseases like flu
children are known as peeps
Breanna's but that doesn't seem to be
the case with coronavirus children
usually topped the list of disease
spreaders because they like to touch
things and they don't wash their hands
very often and spend a lot of time
really close to other people have you
been touching things today in your mouth
yeah but the scientific evidence shows
that few children are likely to become
ill from coronavirus in the largest
review of the evidence so far children
and adolescents were found to be half as
likely to catch kareena virus as adults
around the world scientists have been
looking at the blood of both children
and adults who've had kovin 19 to try
and work out how infectious children are
what data there is suggest children are
no more likely than adults to spread
coronavirus in fact there's some
evidence to show that they transmit the
disease less than adults why is this we
don't really know yet also the World
Health Organization states that
countries which have had Kove in
nineteen and kept schools open have not
seen big outbreaks centered around
schools we know that children can catch
corona virus but what's not clear is how
infectious children are because there's
not enough scientific evidence to draw
any definite conclusions
