At a time when opening up schools has become a debatable matter considering the fear of the third wave, one of the most important discussions that the paediatric task force and health experts have been having is post-Covid complications in children.

This has already been seen in clinical practice. Serology of these children has shown antibodies despite their RT-PCR tests turning negative.”
