Why do children get infected with viruses?

1. Respiratory tract

If the air is already contaminated by the virus, children are more likely to be infected with the virus after breathing the air. Another thing is that if you come into contact with saliva containing the virus, the virus will enter the respiratory tract and cause infection.

2. Digestive tract

If the child drinks contaminated water or food, the virus will enter the mouth and then the digestive tract, and eventually the child will be infected with the virus.

3. Skin

When injecting into the skin, if the needle is infected with the virus; or if we are bitten by a mosquito carrying the virus, the virus will enter our body and cause us to be infected.

4. Placenta

Another reason why children may be infected with the virus is that they are infected by the mother during delivery. That is to say, the virus is transmitted to the fetus through the mother, making the fetus a virus carrier from birth.
