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.
