However, the majority of children admitted to hospitals for acute care in Hershey have Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C), which affects children who have no co-morbidity or other risk factors associated in adults with COVID-19.

There are no known causes of MIS-C, though children with it either had the coronavirus or was around someone with COVID-19.“
