Diarrhoea and vomiting identified as coronavirus symptoms in kids in Irish study as schools return

Diarrhoea, stomach aches and sickness have been identified as coronavirus symptoms in children as schools across Ireland re-opened.

In contrast, the US Centers for Disease Control already lists nausea or vomiting and diarrhoea as possible symptoms. Dr Tom Waterfield told the BBC: "We are finding that diarrhoea and vomiting is a symptom reported by some children and I think adding it to the list of known symptoms is worth considering."

Coughing was also a common trait, though less so than a fever, and smell and taste loss featured just six times - while around 50 percent of those who tested positive reported being asymptomatic.None of the 68 trial subjects had become seriously ill or needed to be taken to hospital.
