Rospotrebnadzor expert Alexander Gorelov noted that recently children have become more likely to become infected with coronavirus infection. However, in the vast majority of cases, they tolerate it in a mild form or are generally asymptomatic.
Academician Gorelov reassured Russian parents that in a significant number of children infected with coronavirus, the infection takes the form of a mild cold, or simply does not cause any symptoms. However, children from this do not cease to be contagious and pose a danger to others, especially grandparents if they have not been vaccinated or revaccinated. At the moment, according to experts, the incidence of coronavirus among children has almost doubled.

And 30% of children have the so-called post-covid syndrome, that is, they have unpleasant symptoms of coronavirus for several months after infection.
