A coronavirus-related inflammatory condition to which children are vulnerable is raising concerns in the US, as it has in Europe (Ian West/PA)The federal Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has warned doctors about a serious rare inflammatory condition in children linked with the coronavirus. In an alert issued on Thursday, the CDC called the condition multi-system inflammatory syndrome in children. The condition has been reported in at least 110 New York children and in several in other states, with several children having died. Reported cases have all involved children but the CDC said it was unknown if the condition can occur in adults. Children are less likely than adults to develop Covid-19 and their illnesses usually are less severe, although they can spread the disease without showing symptoms.
