A new report on preliminary findings from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention suggests that pediatric cases of COVID-19 may not develop the hallmark symptoms of infection such as cough and fever.
The study found that fewer children showed signs of fever and cough than adults aged 18 to 64 years who had been diagnosed with the disease. The research also found that fewer children were hospitalized than adults.
Researchers said that the preventive measures currently being undertaken should continue to prevent transmission.
