Preliminary data indicate that most children carry the omicron strain of coronavirus without consequences for the body. This was told to TASS by Tatiana Ruzhentsova, Deputy Director for Clinical Work at the Gabrichevsky Rospotrebnadzor Moscow Research Institute of Epidemiology and Microbiology.
According to the cardiologist, some underage patients still have fatigue, headaches, and a slight increase in temperature. In this case, children should be under the supervision of a doctor, and if necessary, undergo an additional examination, Ruzhentsova stressed.
Previously, Doctor of Biological Sciences, Professor at the School of Systems Biology at George Mason University (Virginia, USA) Ancha Baranova told Lenta.ru”, that children are easy prey for the omicron strain because of the property due to which it is able to penetrate cells directly, bypassing the cellular protease TMPRSS2, without which infection did not occur before. In her opinion, the lack of vaccination in most children further worsens the situation with morbidity.
