Multiple
reports from around the world indicate that children and youth account
for less than 5-10% of SARS-CoV-2 symptomatic infections.[12-14] In
Canada, of 114,597 COVID-19 cases reported as of July 27, 2020, 8,747
(7.5%) were in individuals aged 0-19 years.[15] While this may, at least
in part, be related to testing strategies and test performance in
children and youth as well as early school closure, there is some data
to suggest children, particularly those under 10 years of age, may be
less susceptible to SARS-CoV-2 infection and potentially less likely to
transmit the virus to others.
