Researchers also found that the virus can continue to appear in faecal samples long after nose and throat swabs show no evidence of infection.
The study led by Chinese researchers, published on Friday in the journal Nature Medicine, found that one of the children showed no symptoms at all and the rest had mild symptoms.
Five of the children had a cough, four had a sore throat, three had diarrhoea and two had nasal congestion and runny nose, symptoms that the researchers said could can make COVID-19 look like other illnesses. The low ratio follows the pattern described by researchers in another study published on Thursday in The New England Journal of Medicine in which a separate team of Chinese doctors reporting out of the city of Wuhan found that only 1.6% of respiratory infections among hospitalized children were COVID-19. The outbreak emerged last December in Wuhan and the virus has since spread to various parts of the world.
