COLUMBUS, Ohio — Much of the emphasis in the state's fight against COVID-19 has been treating older Ohioans as opposed to youngsters.
However, during his briefing on Thursday, Gov. Mike DeWine and state health experts addressed a growing concern about how the virus is impacting children.
"COVID has historically affected older Ohioans more than children. But children aren’t immune to getting sick with COVID, and in some rare cases, they can develop multisystem inflammatory syndrome. This can be a serious complication for children," DeWine said.
