Radio | New report fails to address Covid impacts for children

  • A Public Health Agency investigation into the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic on children’s health is facing criticism, as it does not address how Covid infections directly affected children and their families.
  • Instead, the Swedish Covid Association says attention in the report has been focused on how school closures and other restrictions affected children’s well-being.
  • Social Affairs and Public Health Minister Jakob Forssmed tells Swedish Radio News there are valid reasons for having a wide-ranging investigation.

Rosa (12) has long COVID and sings in a special choir: ‘Now I’m not alone’

ZOETERMEER – 12-year-old Rosa sings in a children’s choir. Nothing extraordinary in itself, but it turns out that all the children have one thing in common: they are all suffering from a COVID-19 infection they contracted years ago. The participants come from all over the world and sing together via a video link.

Two years ago, Rosa from Zoetermeer contracted COVID-19. She became very ill and even needed help with showering. Only after a few months was she able to sit up again and take online lessons for half an hour.
