In Part Two of this special investigation, The Quicky speaks to four children aged between 6 and 16 to find out what they are really thinking and feeling about Covid-19, especially those who remain in lockdown with their families.
We also speak with a paediatric epidemiologist working at one of Sydney's most impacted hospitals to find out just how many children are being admitted with serious COVID-19 symptoms, and how concerned we should be for all kids as the pandemic continues.
