Submitting. During the first wave of coronavirus, infections similar to this were thought to be Kawasaki disease - a rare condition that usually affects babies and infants. Now, however, PIMS has been recognised as a new virus that around one in 5,000 children are contracting around a month after catching coronavirus, regardless of whether they experienced symptomatic Covid cases or not. Currently, hospitals are reported to be admitting up to 100 children a week with the disease, compared to an average of 30 per week during the last Covid wave in April. BAME children worst affected by PIMS Almost four out of five children admitted to hospital with PIMS were previously healthy - according to an unpublished snapshot of cases - with 75 per cent of the children worst affected belonging to black, Asian or other ethnic minority groups.

Carl Court/Getty Images NHS hospitals are freeing up intensive care beds in preparation for an expected increase in cases of a rare disease triggered by Covid-19 that is already hospitalising up to 100 children a week. Paediatric inflammatory multi-system syndrome (PIMS) is a post-viral syndrome that “one in 5,000 children get about a month after having Covid, regardless of whether they had symptoms”, The Guardian reports. According to the NHS website, symptoms include a high temperature that lasts for a few days; a rash; abdominal pain; tiredness or weakness; red and cracked lips; and diarrhoea and vomiting. In serious cases, the symptoms are like those of toxic shock, sepsis or Kawasaki disease, another rare condition affecting children and infants.

Ending benefit lifeline risks health of millions © BBC Obviously we will find a way to survive, because we have to, but it s a lot lot harder, said claimant Becka Kellaway Failing to extend a £20 lockdown benefit boost will harm the health of millions of people for decades, leading health organisations have told Prime Minister Boris Johnson in a letter. Introduced last year, the £20-a-week uplift is due to end in April. Claimants say it has been a lifeline and dread losing it.
