Most children and adolescents with COVID-19 have mild or no symptoms and recover within one to two weeks. Whilst there have been confirmed cases of COVID-19 in NSW schools, preliminary evidence suggests that the spread of COVID-19 within schools is limited. Initial findings in NSW and overseas indicate low rates of disease in children and limited spread among children and from children to adults.
