Health experts have warned of a rise in the number of children suffering from the long-term effects of Covid-19.
The increase in young people with symptoms of long Covid coincides with a global rise in coronavirus infections among minors.
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.”
