Hi, just seen on breaking news that everyone over 5 y.o. Will be able to get a CV test, which I believe is a major positive step forward.
However, please can someone knowledgable explain to me, why not under 5s? Because they are largely asymptomatic?
I know a family of 5 self isolating cos one for their toddlers (twins) spiked a temperature. They now thing is a tooth coming through - but that them having to stay in with 3 preschoolers.
Little kids get all sorts of bugs, it would be extremely useful to know if it’s CV or, much more likely, something else?
