Heart Infections in French Children, Possibly Due to Coronavirus

Several children in France are suffering from heart infections that may be caused by the new coronavirus.

 

The French health minister announced this on Wednesday, who emphasized that there is no evidence yet.

The inflammations are taken “very seriously”, says Olivier Véran. About fifteen French children show the symptoms.

The British authorities also reported such cases last weekend. In the UK, children are said to have even died from its effects.

The inflammation causes them to have severe abdominal complaints, fever and inflamed blood vessels. In the UK, some children are admitted to intensive care.

“It is a new disease that we think may have been caused by the coronavirus or Covid-19,” UK Health Minister Matt Hancock said Tuesday. He indicated that not all children with the symptoms have also tested positive for the coronavirus.
