Iran Press/ Europe: The study highlighted that because the severity of the coronavirus is lower among children, the overall burden of COVID-19 is expected to decline in the coming years.
It is likely that coronavirus will only affect children who are not vaccinated or haven't been exposed to the virus.
The study also predicted that the SARS-CoV-2 virus will become endemic in the global population, meaning it will be found only in particular people.
Ottar Bjornstad at the University of Oslo in Norway stated that the coronavirus has a clear signature and has increasingly severe outcomes with age.
The study suggests that the risk of infection will transfer to younger children as adults become immune either through vaccination or by exposure to the virus.
The study, published in the journal Sciences Advances, noted that similar patterns have been observed for other coronaviruses and influenza viruses as well.
