NEW YORK - New York's Mayor Bill de Blasio on Sunday voiced "tremendous concern" over an uptick in cases of a pediatric syndrome that scientists suspect could be linked to COVID-19.
There have been three deaths statewide linked to the syndrome, Governor Andrew Cuomo had said over the weekend, with one in the city."What it does is, basically, in a child's body triggers an intensive, almost overwhelming immune system response. And that actually causes harm to the body," de Blasio said.
So far, of the confirmed cases, 47% had tested positive for coronavirus and 81% had antibodies, indicating exposure to the fast-spreading virus at some point. On Friday Cuomo had reported at least 73 children throughout New York state had developed the rare illness, which has some similarities to Kawasaki disease.
