Young People and COVID

Symptoms and treatment

Children and young people with COVID-19 are likely to experience mild symptoms or none at all, but they can still transmit the virus to others.

Fever and cough are the most common symptoms of COVID in children and young people.

If your child has a fever or cough, no matter how mild, you should seek advice and get them tested.
