Cole County Health Department on coronavirus cases in children

Will Mid-Missouri see a new jump in coronavirus cases if and when kids go back to school in August?

Chezney Schulte with the Cole County Health Department said they’re watching cases of children in other areas who’ve had complications from conditions related to the virus.

“Regardless of what symptoms they might see, we still don’t want those children who earlier had been thought to have very minor symptoms…to be spreading it to people who might have a more severe onset of symptoms,” said Schulte.

St. Louis hospitals have seen several children with a rare inflammatory syndrome believed linked to coronavirus.
