The easing of travel restrictions and the inability of many children to receive a vaccine are among the main reasons for the trend, doctors told The National. “I am expecting to see more long Covid in children, just as we are seeing in other countries,” said Professor Philip Fischer, a paediatrician at Sheikh Shakhbout Medical City, Abu Dhabi. “Long Covid is an issue but it is not prevalent yet, but we have already seen an increase in inflammatory issues among children who have tested positive.”
