COVID-19 can cause a wide range of symptoms, varying from mild cold-like symptoms to severe life-threatening respiratory distress. While all children are susceptible to COVID-19, the vast majority have mild symptoms, and fewer than 1 percent of cases progress to severe disease.

In this clip, Dr. Rhonda Patrick reviews the recently published data on children’s susceptibility to COVID-19.
