Symptom profile of COVID-19 in children in the Metro South area of Brisbane, during the first SARS-CoV-2 Omicron wave: a population-based survey
The majority of children with COVID-19 during the Omicron wave had fever or respiratory related symptoms as their first symptoms. Gastrointestinal symptoms were uncommon as the first symptom or in conjunction with other symptoms. Understanding the symptom profile in children helps inform institutional settings of their infection control practices and public health messaging.
