Like adults, children can experience long COVID, but few studies of the condition include young people. That has to change.
) pulled together 81 long-COVID studies published up to last June and examined how people were doing 12 or more weeks after being diagnosed with COVID-19 — 32% reported that they were still experiencing fatigue and 22% reported cognitive impairment. The bulk of these studies were done in high-income countries, where populations are older, and include few data on children and teenagers. But they do provide a sense of the scale of the problem.
The CLoCk study suggests that, in the United Kingdom alone, tens of thousands of children and young people might have long COVID. This is in line with an estimate from the UK Office for National Statistics that 44,000 2- to 11-year-olds in the country have long COVID, as do 73,000 12- to 16-year-olds. These figures are subject to uncertainties, but do still demonstrate that younger people are developing long COVID in significant numbers.
