“We know children get infected with the virus, but they don’t appear to get very sick or die,” said Justin Lessler, an epidemiologist at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. There are several theories as to why kids, especially young ones, are less prone to serious symptoms. So far, 29 countries – including Ireland, China, Italy, Poland and Japan – have suspended classes nationwide, affecting nearly 400 million kids, according to Unesco. Another 20 nations having taken partial measures.
It could, for example, result in a reduction in the number of healthcare workers to care for the sick, and “an increase in grandparents delivering childcare – an age group at much greater risk,” he told AFP.“It helps to contain the spread of infection, but it creates a wider problem in society, like missing out on an education,” he said.
