But it did mean some experts were concerned about so-called ‘immunity debt’ – that kids would normally be exposed to seasonal viruses wouldn’t build up their immunity.
And a virus with similar symptoms to COVID has been spreading over the ditch at a rapid pace – with kids fighting for their lives in intensive care.
