CHICAGO (WLS) -- All children who are 2 and older, including the vast majority of kids with underlying health conditions, can safely wear masks, according to new guidance just released by the American Academy of Pediatrics. "Masks are safe for children to wear and we recommend them," said Dr. Alison Tothy, spokesperson with the AAP. "They are going to keep your kids safe from infections, especially when they are around other kids." In fact, dozens of children have been safely attending classes at El Valor's early childhood program. El Valor serves 2,000 children in the Chicago area at four different sites, including the Carlos Cantu Children & Family Center in Little Village. The kids have been wearing face coverings for about eight weeks, said Nina Dueñas, El Valor's Senior Vice Pres...

A growing number of COVID survivors are reporting experiencing symptoms long after their CDC-recommended two-week self-isolation period passes. Recently Survivor Corps—a Facebook group that connects COVID-19 survivors with medical, scientific, and academic research communities—and Natalie Lambert, MD, surveyed 1,567 long-haulers (people with long-term COVID symptoms) about the symptoms they have experienced. The report notes that the symptoms featured on the survey list were based on research but the survey was made "open" so participants could add symptoms as needed.

But at a time when exhalation is discouraged because of the Covid-19 pandemic, a Japanese company has created an attraction that follows social distancing guidelines yet remains absolutely terrifying -- a drive-in haunted house. Kowagarasetai, a Japanese haunted house and horror event production company, claims the concept is the first of its kind.
