The illness is believed to be linked to COVID-19.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is likely to issue a nationwide alert this week to help track a mystery illness impacting children across the United States. The illness, what many are calling „pediatric multi-system inflammatory syndrome,“ is believed to be related to COVID-19.
Jayden Hardowar, an eight-year-old in Queens, New York, who battled the condition, first came down with a fever three weeks ago. His father, Roup, said Jayden had no other symptoms until a few days later, when he went into cardiac arrest, CBS New York reports.
„He called, ‚Mommy,‘ he turned to his side, and he never respond anymore,“ Hardowar said.
