Although children and young people may be less likely to get
COVID-19 than older adults, a new U.K. study suggests they may face their own
physical and mental difficulties. The findings are published in CMAJ (Canadian
Medical Association Journal). “While children and young people seem rarely to be victims
of severe COVID-19, we should anticipate that they will experience substantial
indirect physical, social and mental health effects related to reduced access
to health care and general pandemic control measures,” said Dr. Neil
Chanchlani, of the University of Exeter.
