LAS VEGAS (AP) — Las Vegas-area health officials say eight children under age 14 who tested positive for COVID-19 since March were also diagnosed with a rare inflammatory condition linked with the coronavirus.
The Southern Nevada Health District said Tuesday that all eight children with the illness were hospitalized and released. The effect of the illness is being studied by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
While there isn't a known cause, many children with the illness had COVID-19 or had close contact with someone who did. Not all children exhibit the same symptoms.
