Good morning ladies and gentleman, welcome to bbc news with me umi masviroh who is ready to accompany your day. The theme of our news this morning, is still related to covid with the title "Long Covid in children 'nowhere near scale feared". Let's move to the news, It's BBC....!!!The risk of "long Covid" in children is much lower than many had feared, leading child health experts have said. After the world's biggest study into the issue, the researchers, led by University College London, said they were "reassured". They surveyed 11- to 17-year-olds testing positive for coronavirus in England between September and March. The research suggests somewhere between 2% and 14% still had symptoms caused by Covid 15 weeks later. Sir Terence said he was already "reassured" suggestions, at the height of the pandemic, that half of children could develop long Covid cases were wrong. "It is nowhere near what people thought in the worst-case scenario". Although, he said, the numbers were still "not trivial" and the issue needed to be taken seriously. Most likely to report persistent symptoms were older girls who already had poorer physical and mental health. Those struggling emotionally and mentally could be more attuned to even minor physical illnesses, the researchers said, and a positive coronavirus test could help trigger that. Of all the children in the study, 40% reported feeling sad, worried or unhappy. And the researchers said it was clear the pandemic had a damaging effect on young people because of: the closure of schools, not seeing their friends, concern about the risk from the virus. This showed how important it was to get "back to normal" and have schools open, Dr Whittaker added.That's all from me, don't forget to take care of your family's health during the pandemic. See you next time.
