Most children who catch COVID-19 get few if any symptoms. They seem to shrug off fevers and coughs. Out of more than 1,000 reported infections in China and Singapore, only one -- a 13-month-old -- had a severe infection, and no child under 9 died. Although this is obviously good news, it doesn’t mean that children aren’t playing a major role in the global pandemic. They can still catch the virus, and it’s likely that they are contagious for some time, even if they feel fine.WebMD
