For children and adolescents, the coronavirus is not so dangerous: they carry the disease in a mild form, and there are no complications. This was stated by the chairman of the Scientific Committee of the Association for the Management of Medical Territorial Subdivisions (TрекBIB), Deputy Director of the Research Institute of Disease Prevention, Professor Akif Gurbanov, Trend reports.
According to him, children and adolescents carry COVID-19 asymptomatically, but become carriers of the virus and infect anyone with whom they come into contact.
“Therefore, children and adolescents should first of all be protected from coronavirus. Adults have symptoms, and others can isolate themselves from them. And it is extremely difficult to protect against infection from children and adolescents who carry the disease asymptomatically,” Gurbanov said .
