A recently published review of 78 previous COVID-19 studies led some news outlets to jump to conclusions.
According to Business Insider, some media organizations reported that children cannot transmit COVID-19.
The first articles to cover the review said there was no evidence to date that any children had passed the virus on to adults.
But researcher Alasdair Munro insists their findings were misunderstood, and that adults can indeed contract the virus from children.
The evidence does show that children are far less likely to get gravely ill with COVID-19, and the death rate among them is low.
