Study links long COVID in kids to worse grades, attention, and social life Children and adolescents with long COVID are significantly more likely to experience worsening grades, difficulty concentrating, and having limited fun with friends, according to a new study published in Academic Pediatrics. “Given that both educational performance and positive peer interactions are key developmental tasks among both school-age children and adolescents, our findings demonstrate important functional impairments that extend beyond the clinical symptomatology that has been described to date,” the researchers write. “Such impairments of desirable child developmental experiences may have long-term implications well into adulthood.” https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/covid-19/study-links-long-covid-kids-worse-grades-attention-and-social-life #LongCovid #PublicHealth #CovidisNotOver #WearAMask #GetVaccinated
