Paediatric patients as a COVID-19 transmitter

The role of pediatric patients in transmitting the disease to others is unknown, especially given the unknown number of asymptomatic cases. Most children infected with COVID-19 are asymptomatic or have mild symptoms such as coughing, fever or chills, breathlessness or respiratory problems, muscle or body pain, sore throat, loss of taste or smell, diarrhea, headache, fatigue, nausea or vomiting, nasal congestion or rhinitis. Of the many of these symptoms, if individual symptoms occur, they may go unnoticed by the parent.
