""The study demonstrates that all along, children of all ages including infants and toddlers have had a similar risk of SARS- CoV-2 infection compared with adults," Dr. Flor Munoz, a pediatric infectious disease specialist at Texas Children's Hospital and associate professor of pediatrics at Baylor College of Medicine, wrote in an accompanying editorial. SARS-CoV-2 is the name of the coronavirus that causes Covid-19."

"Children are almost as likely as adults to become infected with coronavirus, but they are less likely to have symptoms, according to a new study published Friday."
