According to him, of the total number of covid-positive children under the age of 10, 31 were transmitted by one of the household members and there were no serious symptoms.
– In the kovid pediatric center of the Nis Clinical Center, in the period from November 23 to December 3, a total of 20 children were hospitalized, two of them under 10 years old, none of them from Nis. Also, there was no serious illness – says Tiodorović from Južne vesti.
He says this supports the fact that it has been confirmed in the world scientific literature that children of that age rarely get sick and are not carriers.
– However, there are always very rare exceptions, especially if they have hereditary predispositions or diseases already acquired at such an early stage of life – added the epidemiologist.
The portal recalls that according to data from the Health Center, 331 children were examined in the pediatric covid clinic for just over a week, and it turned out that 68 of them tested positive for corona, of which 32 were under the age of 10 years.
As one of the medical reasons why younger elementary school students did not switch to online classes, epidemiologist and crisis staff member Branislav Tiodorović claimed that children under the age of 10 do not have enough receptors that are necessary for the virus to bind to the cell.
He says he expresses gratitude and admiration to educators for their work in education, which is “one of the most important pillars of a society that wants to fight for prosperity.”
