In total, about 25 similarly ill children have been admitted there in recent weeks with symptoms ranging from reddened tongues to enlarged coronary arteries. On Monday night, the New York City Health Department issued a bulletin, asking doctors to report any cases of the syndrome. Early research suggests that children are significantly less likely to become seriously ill with COVID-19 than adults. In New York City there have been 13,724 deaths of laboratory-confirmed COVID patients. Doctors say that even though there is growing evidence that some healthy children are falling gravely ill with this new syndrome, they are still at far less risk from COVID-19 than adults.
