Covid-19: children at extremely low risk
New data looking at the pandemic from the past 12 months has found children are at extremely low risk of becoming very ill or dying from Covid-19.
Those who were living with disabilities or chronic illness were also found to have a very low risk, despite being considered at most risk.
Scientists from four different universities (UCL, York, Bristol and Liverpool) have said their studies on children are the most comprehensive yet, finding hospital stays a rarity.
