Many schools are not implementing precautions against seasonal COVID-19, leading to more children experiencing multiple infections and increasing the risk of developing Long COVID. A study identified common symptoms of Long COVID in kids aged 6-17, showing that a significant proportion experience symptoms lasting more than four weeks after infection. Even asymptomatic children were found to have lasting effects. Symptoms included headaches, memory and focus issues, sleep problems, body pain, tiredness, anxiety, and depression. The severity of symptoms impacted overall well-being, highlighting the need for early diagnosis and support for children with Long COVID. Research and interventions are crucial to addressing this serious issue.
