Nearly one-in-three children tested for the new coronavirus in Florida has been positive, and a South Florida health official is concerned the disease could cause lifelong damage even for children with mild illness.
Dr. Alina Alonso, Palm Beach Countys health department director, warned county commissioners Tuesday that much is unknown about the long-term health consequences for children who catch COVID-19.
X-rays have revealed the virus can cause lung damage even in people without severe symptoms, she said.
They are seeing there is damage to the lungs in these asymptomatic children. ... We dont know how that is going to manifest a year from now or two years from now, Alonso said. Is that child going to have chronic pulmonary problems or not?
Her comments stand in contrast to Gov. Ron DeSantis messaging that children are at low risk, and classrooms need to be reopened in the fall. DeSantis has said he would be comfortable sending his children to school if they were old enough to attend.
