Cuomo called it “a parent’s worst nightmare.”
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said in a Wednesday press conference that the state is investigating 102 cases of children with the inflammatory, Kawasaki disease-like condition possibly connected to coronvirus, and that 14 other states—plus five European countries—are reporting similar cases.Cuomo said that 60% of the sick children tested positive for COVID-19, while 40% tested positive for antibodies.
The majority of the sick children are between five years old and 14 years old, Cuomo said, and three have died since the cases began popping up.A range of symptoms are seen with this condition, including: fever, abdominal pain, skin rash, bloodshot eyes, change in skin color, difficulty breathing, racing heart, and lethargy, irritability or confusion.
The number of symptoms “makes it even harder for a parent to know what they’re dealing with,” said Cuomo, calling it “a parent’s worst nightmare.” Additionally, about 20% of the city’s general population tested positive for antibodies, Cuomo said, compared to 10% to 17% of essential workers.
