Covid 19: Any aged person can get Coronavirus infection. In babies, the infection is typically mild, like a mild cold. They are also less likely to spread the disease. Treat symptomatically with nasal saline drops and aspiration, humidification and fever reducers.

Yes: It appears that anyone at any age can become infected. As a general rule children are often symptom free if they become infected and most have minor symptoms if they do show them. There are very rare kid cases where their body responds wildly in a catastrophic way.
