The main carriers of coronavirus infection in the world are children.
According to Lenta.ru, this is stated in an article published in the Journal of Pediatrics by experts from the Massachusetts General Hospital and Massachusetts Children's Hospital.
The study involved 192 children and young people aged 0-22.
It was found that the level of the virus in the respiratory tract of infected children is higher than in adults admitted to intensive care units for the treatment of COVID-19. The main factor in the transmission of the virus to a healthy person is the high viral load.
