Child In Brazil Died Due To COVID-19 Cardiac Complications

An 11-year-old girl in Brazil developed multiple system inflammatory syndrome and eventually a cardiac failure after being diagnosed with COVID-19, according to a case-study published in the Lancet. It is the first report that shows presence of SARS-CoV-2 in the cardiac tissue of children. 

The child had no other health issues prior to COVID-19, said the authors of the study.
