The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on May 14 issued a health advisory to thousands of doctors nationwide, advising them to be aware of a rare, life-threatening syndrome in children associated with the CCP virus.
The guidance follows more than 100 cases of the rare inflammatory condition in the state of New York, and a handful of cases in at least 18 other states across the United States, and Washington, D.C., in young children who had been exposed to COVID-19, the disease caused by the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, commonly known as the novel coronavirus.
