Children face an 'extremely low' one in 500,000 risk of dying from the coronavirus, researchers have found. Teenagers, black and obese children were also at higher risk from dying with Covid but these numbers were still very low, they found. Researchers have found that children have a two in one million risk of dying from Covid. During the same period, 124 children died from suicide, while 268 died from trauma, showing that Covid 'is rarely fatal' in children, the researchers said. Higher proportions of Asian and black children died from the virus but these deaths were 'still extremely rare', they said.
