Portugal: Zero deaths in children from Covid-19, 0,5% hospitalizations and 0,03% in ICU

In the first year of the pandemic, no child died in Portugal because of covid-19, and only 11 – out of a total of nearly 37,000 who tested positive for covid-19 between March 2020 and April 21 this year – needed care intensive. On the other hand, about 995 out of every 1,000 children (aged 5 to 11 years) who tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 had mild symptoms or were asymptomatic, as only 179 required short-term hospitalization. periods (0.49% of the total infected.

This confirms the very low risk of covid-19 – almost irrelevant – for an age group that will now be subject to the vaccination campaign decided this week by the Government.

This information – hitherto unknown to the general public, and only accessible to a restricted group of experts – is obtained by crossing two databases: the National System of Epidemiological Surveillance (SINAVE) and the registry of hospitalizations of covid patients .
