报告摘要

As of 29 September 2021, reported COVID-19 cases exceed 232 million globally, with deaths exceeding 4.7 million. Data is incomplete for the current week.
Cases and deaths are based on WHO-reported data.

Children and adolescents have lower reported COVID-19 cases and deaths compared to adults, accounting for less than 0.5% of global deaths.
Symptoms are generally milder in this age group, but severe cases and prolonged symptoms (post-COVID-19 condition) can occur.
Rarely, children may develop Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome (MIS-C), a condition occurring 2-4 weeks post-infection, with most recovering with treatment.
Younger children may be less susceptible to infection, but evidence is limited and requires further investigation.

Continue implementing public health measures for all ages in schools and communities, including physical distancing, hand washing, cough etiquette, and adequate ventilation.
Mask use is recommended for older children and adolescents where advised, based on WHO guidelines.
These measures help reduce transmission, which reflects community levels and is not necessarily higher risk in schools with mitigation in place.
