Most affected children have had current or recent coronavirus infections, the CDC said.
LOS ANGELES - It’s a segment of the population that accounts for roughly 13% of the total cases of COVID-19 in the United States: children. Now, the National Institutes of Health is launching a new research effort to better understand how SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, affects adolescents, the institute announced Tuesday.
The effort, called the Collaboration to Assess Risk and Identify Long-term Outcomes for Children with COVID (CARING for Children with COVID), develops and funds studies to investigate why some children are at greater risk for SARS-CoV-2 infection than others, why symptoms vary among children who are infected, and how to identify children at risk for severe illness from SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Texas State Teachers Association President Ovidia Molina issued a statement Tuesday saying that despite making progress against the Covid‐19 pandemic, removing state health mandates, including the mask wearing requirement, risks “disastrous consequences,” especially in schools.
“The Texas State Teachers Association urges the governor to keep his mask mandate in place, especially in our public schools, and see that it is enforced,“ the statement said.
