Assoc. Prof. Dr. Teera Worathanarat, Faculty of Medicine Chulalongkorn University posted on Facebook of Thira Woratanarat stating that COVID-19 in children
The infectious disease medical journal Clinical Infectious Diseases published research from the Canadian team on December 12, 2023.
The study included 101 children aged 2-17 years who were infected with COVID-19. to see what the dynamics of the virus are
The results of the study found that After being infected with COVID-19, children usually experience symptoms for an average of 6 days.
However, even though the symptoms have disappeared Still, a small number of children still have levels of the virus that still have the potential to infect others.
However, 50% can be detected 5 days after the date of the onset of symptoms.
25% at 7 days after symptom onset
and 10% at 10 days after the onset of symptoms.
This research confirms that Even if infected until the symptoms disappear There is still a chance of spreading the infection to others for several days.
What is interesting is Results of this study in children consistent with the knowledge we have previously presented for infection in adults (5 days –> 50%, 7 days –> 25%, 10 days –> 10%) and Emphasizing the importance of isolating infected people for at least 7-10 days until they have no symptoms. and rechecked and got negative results You should protect yourself well to reduce the risk of spreading it to others after that until 14 days have passed while going about your daily life.
A summary of various research studies around the world indicates that Dynamics of the COVID-19 virus in children and adults They all have similarities. and the principles mentioned above are appropriate.
