From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

MIS-C[1] or multi system inflammatory syndrome is a rare disease associated with SARS-CoV-2[2] (the virus that causes COVID-19) that usually occurs 2 to 6 weeks after a child is infected with SARS-CoV-2[3]. A child's SARS-CoV-2[4] infection can be very mild or asymptomatic and go unnoticed. MIS-C[5] causes inflammation in various internal and external parts of the body, including the heart, lungs, kidneys, brain, skin, eyes or digestive tract. MIS-C[6] can be serious, even fatal, but most children with the condition recover with medical care.

MIS-C[7] is still mildly unknown but it's in children so you can protect yourselves by getting vaccines for COVID-19. The symptoms are ongoing fever, stomach pain, diarrhea, vomiting, skin rash, bloodshot eyes, and dizziness/lightheadedness. (Be aware that if you are feeling for sick for more than two weeks you should go to a hospital).
