There is another issue that Dr. David Banach from UConn Health points out.
“I think it can be very difficult to distinguish between these common cold respiratory viruses and COVID,” said Banach, UConn Health’s hospital epidemiologist.
Right now, children under age 12 remain a vulnerable group with no COVID-19 vaccine authorized for them and the Delta variant spreading quickly.

“I think my general messages that if there s concern go get tested. There s a lot of testing available here in Connecticut, and you know, I think it s the best way to get you an answer,” said Banach.
