Children and Corona: More infections than reported cases during second wave in Germany

(Helmholtz Zentrum M ü nchen - German Research Center for Environmental Health) A study by Helmholtz Zentrum M ü nchen concludes that during the second Corona wave, three to four times more children in Bavaria, Germany were infected with the Corona virus than reported via PCR tests. In addition, the researchers found that about eight times more children had antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 at the end of the second wave in comparison to the end of the first wave. The results are relevant for decision-making on which measures to take to contain the pandemic.
