Childhood infection
The National Institute of Public Health states that children can get sick and infect others, but are less likely to contract COVID-19 than adults. The spread of the infection in schools and kindergartens is involved to a small extent in driving the spread of the infection in society, they conclude after a recent review of the knowledge base in the area.
– The general knowledge we have today still indicates that children have a limited role in the spread of infection in society. Children become infected, but they get sick less often, says Kjetil G. Brurberg, acting director of health services at the National Institute of Public Health.
– However, more knowledge is still needed, especially about the asymptomatic spread of the virus in children.
