A new model can help predict whether a child is more likely to have long-term negative outcomes from COVID-19.
COVID-19 and Children
While considerable efforts have gone into understanding how COVID-19 affects the body in adults, much less is known about how the virus affects children, and how those effects manifest into long-term health consequences of the infection, said the FDA.
COVID in Children | Guidelines for Management of COVID-19 in Children
Covid-19 virus has affected many children during the second wave. Many factors play a role in COVID in children and the management of COVID in children. Therefore, it is highly essential for parents to know and understand the symptoms in children.

‘The new project will study clinical cohorts of children to try to identify a COVID-19-specific inflammatory and tissue damage disease signature.’
The project also seeks to identify potential biomarkers that correlate to a COVID-19-specific inflammatory and tissue damage disease signature during the disease course, said the FDA. Source-IANS
Test your Knowledge on Coronavirus (COVID-19)
Coronavirus is a large positive-strand RNA virus that is surrounded by a protein envelope. The virus obtains its name from the S protein spikes on its surface, which resemble a crown. The overall pattern of increasing coronavirus cases is shown to spike up with the “second wave” of COVID-19.
With spiking effects of the second wave of coronavirus, the best way to keep it at bay is to follow COVID-appropriate safety practices like wearing a mask, regularly cleaning your hands, and coughing into a bent elbow or tissue along with physical distancing (6 feet about 2 arm's length), that may help evade the severity of COVID-19 infection.

Age-related Macular Degeneration Increases Risk of Severe COVID-19 Infection
A novel association between age-related macular degeneration and COVID-19, and variants in the PDGFB gene, have been identified by researchers.

COVID-19 Vaccinations Used Before Infection Diminish Omicron Transmission
Prisons found that recent vaccination and boosters reduce infectiousness, but infection risk remains high.
