This week, the CDC issued a health advisory on multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) associated with novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19), offering a case definition and advising clinicians to report suspected cases to public health officials. Elsewhere, researchers reported high false-negative rates with reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction testing for SARS-CoV-2, depending on the time since exposure. Additionally, researchers published a web-based risk calculator that estimates the probability that a COVID-19 patient will develop critical illness. Catch up on these and all of our COVID-19 stories from the past week at the links below.
