Kentucky’s Public Health Commissioner Warns of Covid Complications in Kids
Kentucky parents should be aware of the risk of developing multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children who have been infected with COVID-19, Kentucky’s public health commissioner says.
“This condition is rare but serious, ” Dr. Steven Stack said Monday at a news conference. It occurs about two to six weeks after the COVID-19 infection itself, he added, and can occur after mild or even asymptomatic COVID-19.
Stack’s warning came during remarks on new coronavirus guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In light of declining cases, masks will no longer be required on buses or vans operated by public or private school systems, including early care and education/child care programs.
