Abstract

The post-acute impacts of COVID-19 in children and adolescents are not well understood. In this population-based study in Geneva, the authors find evidence of COVID-19-related symptom persistence beyond 12 weeks in adolescents, and identify chronic conditions and lower socioeconomic status as risk factors.
