Children with COVID-19 carry as much or more coronavirus in their nose as adults, suggesting that they could pose a serious infection risk if schools and day care centers reopen, a new study argues.
performed in Chicago in March and April shows that children and teens tend to have as much virus in their nasal passages as adults, according to a research letter published online July 30 inIn fact, children younger than 5 carried the highest viral loads, the researchers reported.
Based on those studies, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention argued last week for the reopening of the nation's schools. The researchers found that young children had average viral loads 10 to 100 times greater than adults. According to the CDC, just 7% of U.S. COVID-19 cases, and less than 0.1% of related deaths, have occurred in people under the age of 18. And so far in 2020, fewer children have died from COVID-19 than typically die fromIt remains a mystery why kids haven't been shown to be as infectious as adults when it comes to COVID-19, Adalja said.
