Coronavirus: More HK children suffering from ‘worrying’ inflammation condition after recovering from Covid-19 infection, experts warn


Hong Kong is seeing an increasing number of children who have recovered from Covid-19 but are suffering from a syndrome that causes inflammation in various parts of the body, medical experts have warned, calling on parents to get their youngsters vaccinated as early as possible.

The observations, revealed in a Hospital Authority briefing on Thursday, came as the experts also found in a preliminary analysis that Covid-19 was a direct cause of at least three among a total of eight deaths involving children recorded in the city’s fifth wave of infections.
