Children less infectious than adults with COVID-19

Oxford Pauses Trial of AstraZeneca Covid-19 Vaccine in Children and Teenagers
With the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic rapidly spreading across several countries, including India, the incidence of cases among children turning is a serious concern. Providing some respite, a new study led by the University of Manitoba states that children may not be as infectious as adults in spreading the SARS-CoV-2coronavirus.
The study by a multi-disciplinary team of researchers found that the growth of the virus in cell cultures of nasopharyngeal swabs acquired from children were lower, and had lesser viral concentrations. Thus, the findings of the study can have crucial clinical and public health implications, the authors expressed.
