The British Medical Journal, published in the British Medical Journal, is the largest in the world to date, and focuses on young people admitted to the hospital with COVID-19.
The pattern of 651 young people admitted to 138 hospitals in England and Wales between 17 January and 3 July shows that only 18% needed intensive care.
These young people are more likely to be black, less than a month old or between 10 and 14 years old, according to the study.
Only six of the 651 young people in a row, 1%, died of coronavirus, but all had underlying conditions.
Calum Semple, professor of child health and epidemic medicine at the University of Liverpool, said that “serious illnesses are rare and death is incredibly uncommon” in young people inflamed by COVID-19.
“Parents should be sure that their children will not suffer direct harm upon return to school,” he added.
Only 11% of young people developed a hyper-inflammatory reaction to coronavirus, and these young people were more likely to be older or black, Asian or minority.
Symptoms they suffered included fatigue, muscle pain, sore throat and low platelet count; none of those cases was fatal.

Dr Olivia Swann, Senior Professor of Paediatric Infectious Diseases at the University of Edinburgh and the first of the study, added: “The absolute threat of a child in the UK being admitted to the hospital with COVID-19 is minimal.
“The absolute number of people admitted to intensive care with COVID-19 is even higher.
“Nothing is without risks, but for me, as a parent, pediatrician and researcher, I think this and those figures are incredibly reassuring.
In England, 97% of pupils are expected to receive full-time pupils again next month, according to union data.
The 3% that does not supply for transition periods for new academics or a slow income, according to figures from the National Association of Directors (NAHT).
However, Barnardo’s warned that thousands of young people would possibly refuse to go back to school, some would be nervous, disappointed and afraid to return to school.
The children’s charity urges schools to have a “adjustment period” of at least one period in which teachers can prioritize the well-being of staff and academics, and warns against the “status quo” from day one.
