New Governor Cuomo says he is increasingly worried that the syndrome poses a newly emerging risk for children
A child looks out the window on a rainy day during the outbreak of the coronavirus, in Brooklyn, New York, US, May 6, 2020.
The governor told a daily briefing on Saturday that the illness had now taken the lives of at least three young people across the state. He did not provide details of their ages or the circumstances of their deaths. Cuomo said the children happened to test positive for Covid-19 or the antibodies against it, "but those were not the symptoms they showed when they came into the hospital system."
Cuomo said New York's health department had partnered with the New York Genome Center and the Rockefeller University to look at whether there is a genetic basis for the syndrome, cases of which were first reported in Britain, Italy and Spain.
