As schools talk about reopening, many families are concerned about how the coronavirus will impact children — and the virus' spread.
While there has yet to be hard data to prove asymptomatic spread – transmitting the virus without displaying any symptoms – Shekerdemian said there’s nothing to suggest “the lack of symptoms doesn’t mean you don’t transmit it.”
Dr. Megan Culler Freeman, a pediatric infectious disease specialist at UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh, said nose swab studies have shown children have the same amount of viral load in their noses as adults. She suspects this may be due to teenagers and young adults socializing outside of their houses as businesses reopen. However, she said there’s no data available to support that these older children get sicker or are more at risk for the disease.recommends all children 2 years old and older wear a mask or cloth covering.
Some question whether younger children have the discipline to keep masks on during school while out of their parents’ supervision, but Shekerdemian says kids deserve more credit. “Children are very conscious of what their peers are doing most parents see that their children are way more disciplined at school than at home,” she said.
