Since the first case of COVID-19 was confirmed in March, there have been 835 confirmed cases of the virus in children in Albania.
Currently, eight children are hospitalised in a COVID-19 ward in Tirana’s pediatric hospital. Georgina Kuli, the head of the Pediatric Infectious Diseases Service at the Mother Theresa Hospital confirmed this information to the media.
Only 17% of all known cases in children are still active, she said.
Most of those infected did not have severe symptoms and many were asymptomatic. She advised parents to implement measures against COVID-19 in schools and at home.
“Parents at home should definitely measure the child’s temperature every morning. If the child has a fever, we should not make amateur excuses.”
