Matt Hancock "very worried" about new coronavirus condition that affects children | LBC

The Health Secretary has told LBC he was “worried” about a rare and potentially fatal new condition that may be emerging in children in the UK as a result of coronavirus.

After a warning was sent to GPs on Sunday evening, Matt Hancock told Nick Ferrari: “I am worried about it and we’re looking into it. It’s a new disease that we think may be caused by coronavirus, we’re not sure.”

He stressed that the new disease was “rare”.

He said: “I’m very worried about the early signs that in rare cases there is an impact of an autoimmune response in children that causes a significant disease.

"We put out at the weekend a call across the NHS because some cases of this have been identified, and this call essentially says to doctors in other parts of the country - have you seen this condition? And then they collect the information and find out what’s going on.
