There are fewer cases of COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus, among children compared to cases among adults, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The agency says about 2% of confirmed U.S. cases of COVID-19 have been among people under the age of 18. That rate is 2.2% in China, 1.2% in Italy and 0.8% in Spain, according to the CDC.
But, as with the general population, epidemiologists say those rates likely do not include asymptomatic children, since people without symptoms are rarely tested for the infection.

ARE CHILDREN AS CONTAGIOUS AS ADULTS?
A recent study observed a collection of international family clusters of COVID-19 and found that children were the initial source of infection in less than 10% of cases. The study report, produced by the University of Queensland and posted on the SSRN preprint platform in April, has been submitted to The Lancet medical journal but has not yet been peer reviewed.
Several small studies in countries such as Iran and France have come to similar conclusions, as has the Netherlands’ National Institute for Public Health and the Environment.
