At a time when opening up schools has become a debatable matter considering the fear of the third wave, one of the most important discussions that the paediatric task force and health experts have been having is post-Covid complications in children. Many children have been found to be asymptomatic, but they later develop multi-system inflammatory syndrome.

A task force member said, “As part of the multi-system inflammatory syndrome, children develop complications of lungs, gastro-intestinal tract, heart, kidneys and liver. This has already been seen in clinical practice. Serology of these children has shown antibodies despite their RT-PCR tests turning negative.”
