Children are less commonly infected by Covid-19. When infected, they are less symptomatic and the development of the disease in their systems are less severe than adults infected with Covid-19. Symptoms, if present, are also nonspecific and resemble other non-Covid respiratory viruses, which creates a diagnostic dilemma.
