Figures from the Norwegian intensive care and pandemic register show that eight children have completed intensive care. Currently, one child receives such treatment at Haukeland University Hospital, which means that the total number is at least nine.

– There are often slightly different reasons why children with corona end up in the intensive care unit. Many of those who have been admitted have had mild covid-19 disease, but a few weeks later had a severe immune reaction. Then they have been monitored and treated with immunosuppressants in the intensive care unit, says chief physician Reidar Kvåle to the newspaper.
According to Kvåle, a minority of the eight previously admitted children in intensive care have needed respiratory treatment.
