"We provide a detailed description of the illness duration and symptom burden for COVID-19 in UK school-aged children (age 5–17 years). Our data, collected in a digital surveillance platform through one of the largest UK citizen science epidemiological studies, show that long illness duration after SARS-CoV-2 infection in school-aged children does occur, but is uncommon. Only a small proportion of children had illness duration beyond 4 weeks, and their symptom burden decreased over time. Almost all children had symptom resolution by 8 weeks, providing reassurance about long-term outcomes. Additionally, the symptom burden in children with what has been termed long COVID-19 was not greater than that in children with long illnesses due to causes other than SARS-CoV-2 infection. "
