Children and Covid - a paediatrician's advice
Dr. Jin Russell, an Auckland paediatrician, said the majority of children experience Covid-19 similarly to a cold and many would have no symptoms at all.
"Covid-19 is a much less severe illness in children," she said.
"For the most part, the illness can be managed at home."
She said the Omicron variant manifested in children similarly to "other common respiratory viruses in childhood."
"It looks as though Omicron is less severe for children in general than RSV [respiratory syncytial virus], which went around our daycares last year.
"This is not to minimise the impact of any of these illnesses, but just to give parents a sense of what to expect."
She said daycares were places with lots of physical contact, so it was important for adults to be fully vaccinated and boosted, for spaces to have good ventilation, and for parents to keep sick children home.
"Sometimes children are sent to daycare and they've got a little bit of a runny nose – we really can't do that anymore [with Omicron]."
She is said children with the virus who have trouble breathing, unable to keep their fluids down, or going to the bathroom abnormally, should be taken to a GP to be checked.
Dr. Russell said children under 5 are capable of understanding the importance of Covid-19 prevention, including wearing masks.
"I think children are really resilient when you give them good reasons. They're also often very motivated to help other people."
She said parents should give simple, common sense directions.
