Why schools probably aren’t COVID hotspots

2021

Data gathered worldwide are increasingly suggesting that schools are not hotspots for coronavirus infections. Despite fears, COVID-19 infections did not surge when schools and day-care centres reopened after pandemic lockdowns eased. And when outbreaks do occur, they mostly result in only a small number of people becoming ill.

However, research also shows that children can catch the virus and shed viral particles, and older children are more likely than very young kids to pass it on to others.

Infant with SARS-CoV-2 infection causing severe lung disease treated with Remdesivir

2020

We describe an ex-premature infant presenting with SARS-CoV-2 infection in the 5th week of life. Current reports indicate that acute symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection is relatively rare and much less severe than in adults. This case highlights that infection can be associated with life threatening pulmonary disease in young infants and that infection can follow a similar disease course to that described in adults. We provide first data on the use of the novel antiviral remdesivir in a young child and an innovative approach to expedited approval from a multidisciplinary clinical team and bioethics committee for compassionate access to the drug.
