Kyoto Prefecture announced on the 10th that the death of a preschooler under the age of 10 in Kyoto Prefecture infected with the new coronavirus was confirmed.
According to the prefecture, this preschooler had symptoms of fever late last month, and when he was examined, he was confirmed to be infected and was being treated at home.
After that, although she had subsided her fever, she had symptoms of "sounding" when she breathed, so she went to a medical institution and took medicine to improve her symptoms. However, she died after that.
Preschoolers have no underlying illness and the cause of death is unknown.
This is the first time that a child under the age of 10 infected with the new coronavirus has been confirmed dead in Kyoto Prefecture.
