A member asked:
How would i know if my kid is sick with covid-19 or with just a cold?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Testing: Up to 50% of kids who have it appear to never show symptoms. The rest seem to have mild non specific cold like symptoms. Unless the swab tests for presence of the virus is done you might never know. At some point blood antibody tests will eventually be the best marker to prove past infection.
