There was plenty of scientific and medical evidence back in June/July that said pre teens DO get infected, and CAN spread the virus. I also remember mentioning it in this thread back in July. See my post below.

Who is giving Berejiklian this incorrect medical information? Is it NSW CHO Kerry Chant? Or is it Federal CHO Professor Paul Kelly? Is it the same person who gave the PM health advice?

The first two paragraphs from the Hopkins Medical article I linked previously states:

Quote:

Can children get coronavirus?

Yes. Although in a majority of cases disease seems to be milder in young children, it’s important for parents and caregivers to understand that children can be infected with SARS-CoV-2, the coronavirus that causes COVID-19, and can transmit it to others.

In rare cases, children can become very sick with COVID-19, and deaths have occurred. That’s why it is important to use precautions and prevent infection in children as well as adults.
