A study today in
JAMA Network Open reveals that 10.5% of children and teens in a Chinese province during distance learning early in the COVID-19 pandemic reported psychological distress particularly among those who never wore a face covering or were physically active for less than a half hour a day.
A team led by researchers from Southern Medical University in Guangdong province analyzed data from an online survey of about 1.2 million randomly sampled school-aged children and adolescents from 21 cities receiving home-based instruction from Mar 8 to 30, 2020.
Of the 1,199,320 students, 126,355 (10.5%) said they had psychological distress, 51.5% of them girls. High school students, especially seniors, were at about 20% higher risk for poor well-being than those in elementary school (odds ratio [OR], 1.19).

SHENYANG, Jan. 17 (Xinhua) A robot designed to take throat swabs for COVID-19 nucleic acid tests has been deployed in the city of Shenyang in northeast China s Liaoning Province as part of the latest citywide testing campaign.
Photos of the robot, Lingcai, soon made headlines across the city, which has seen a resurgence of COVID-19 cases since December last year. Local medical staff hailed the robot invention, saying it limits person-to-person infections.
It can perform quick sampling in a completely isolated environment so that neither medical workers nor those tested are at risk of contracting or passing on the virus, said Duan Weiying, a local medical staff member at a community COVID-19 testing site.
