A study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that between 5.7% and 20% of children with COVID-19 end up in the hospital, with 2% or fewer needing intensive care.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has more reassuring news about coronavirus infections among children.finds that people in the United States under the age of 18 are far less likely to fall ill with COVID-19 or require intensive care, compared with older Americans.
The CDC cautions that most reports of coronavirus cases among children are incomplete, which adds uncertainty to the report's specific numbers. Based on the partial data analyzed in this study, between 5.7% and 20% of sick children end up in the hospital, and 2% or fewer end up in intensive care, the paper says. For adults ages 18-64, the proportion hospitalized was between 10% and 33%, and 1.4% to 4.5% required intensive care.
More than a quarter of children didn't show any one of the three classic signs of this disease: fever, cough and shortness of breath. And only 56% of the cases sampled had included fever as a specific symptom. That means many children may be spreading the disease even though they don't seem to be sick.
