1/3 At least 14% of children who get #COVID19 will get #LongCovid.
All children are exposed to #COVID19 & are likely to get infected.
The @UKHSA has not provided a #COVID symptom list.
Families are confused when to isolate or test.
Without a +test it is very difficult to
2/3 get medical care & support (it shouldn't be but it is).
Without a diagnosis, children are "pushing through" symptoms which we know has a detrimental effect.
The best option is to avoid infection, but this isn't available to CYP who have to attend school by law.
So as you
3/3 can see, a list of symptoms would be very helpful in reducing the overall impact on pediatric health.

@sajidjavid this is a crisis altering the lives of children.
The @CDCgov has a list, why don't we?

⬇️These are from the #nhs website & are NOT the main symptoms in kids

1) Pre results from hospital's medical examiner indicate that Jorja had Covid myocarditis from #COVID19
#Sept10❤️
We wrote to @hantsconnect to ask why schools were refusing to put donated CO2 monitors in schools -7th Sept -Ticket ID 104074873
#longcovidkid
thesun.co.uk/news/16308491/…
2) On the 10th of Sept we received an email stating our enquiry had been passed to the "Assistant Director – Education & Inclusion"
We have yet to receive a response.

Our heart breaks for Jorja, her family & her community.
THIS IS #LIVINGWITHCOVID @TheSun
#Sept10❤️ #hampshire
3) We are aware of a #Hampshire school that refused the donation of #CO2monitors in favor of waiting for the same brand to arrive from @educationgovuk
😫MADNESS 💔
They also told the family that their daughter would be "exposed to #COVID19 the same as all other viruses"
