With all of the updates, on confirmed cases in Canada, it's not very often you see a child mentionned as someone who has COVID-19.
Often, it's a person in their 40's or older, who has been travelling in another country.
So does that mean kids are immune?
"Especially for younger populations, this is a very mild illness." says Toronto ER physician, Dr. Brett Belchetz.
He says it's not that the kids aren't getting COVID-19, but if they are, their symptoms aren't as severe.
"For people who are under the age of 60, who have no underlying health conditions, many of them are getting symptoms that would be closer to a severe cold or a mild flu."
As a matter of fact, a recent article showed that in China, out of all the cases, children under the age of 10 accounted for less than 1% of all infections.
Of all their deaths, not a single child is among them.
But Belchetz says it creates a dangerous situation, where children may not be severely impacted, but they could still be carrying the virus. That means they could still transfer the virus to someone with a comprimised immune system, or a senior, where it could turn deadly.
