Parents have a situation to deal with. Knowledge is power.

Please know what to look for in your child. Trust your instincts. Seek help if you are concerned.

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
