A Third Of Kids With COVID-19 Are Asymptomatic

One of the few bright spots of the coronavirus pandemic has been among children.

Although severe illness and death have occurred, most children are spared the most serious outcomes.

Studies have shown that nearly 1/3 of kids with the virus have no symptoms at all.

The latter group has been of particular interest to researchers and policymakers, reports HuffPost.

Scientists have long sought to quantify how many children are asymptomatic, or “silent carriers”.

New research out of Canada provides one of the clearest estimates to date.
