Abstract

COVID-19 is caused by SARS-CoV-2, a virus that affects the upper and lower respiratory tracts. Most kids who get COVID-19 do not get sick at all, or only feel sick for a short time. But sometimes children who have had COVID-19 can feel unwell for several weeks or months after the infection. They continue to feel exhausted, have shortness of breath, and have trouble doing daily tasks. This is called long COVID, and doctors are trying to understand it and find ways to protect people. In this article, we will explain what can happen when kids get COVID-19, what long COVID is, and what might cause long COVID to happen in a number of infected people.
