Children have accounted for a relatively low number of coronavirus cases, but other facets of their healthcare and wellbeing have suffered

. Lake is the co-editor of a series of eight advocacy briefs highlighting the effects of Covid-19 on children based on data in the Western Cape.

“While [the experts’ argument] was true in terms of relative numbers of child infections, it completely overlooked the disastrous collateral damage reaped by the pandemic on many facets of children’s lives. As the health system battled to cope with large numbers of sick adults, children’s needs were somewhat sidelined,” Shung-King said.

Lake noted that resources, including hospital wards, beds and elective surgeries, were channelled towards the care of adult Covid-19 patients.
