Since the start of the epidemic, the establishment has only recorded about twenty cases. Because contrary to popular belief, Covid-19 is not a pediatric disease.
The child is less sick, but is also less transmitting. Children are not super contaminators unlike some adults.
Doctors believe that the child defends himself rather well against the virus and that he has better immunity. Although in some cases it can trigger strong inflammatory reactions which can lead to organ failure, but this is very rare.
