      Hi,

      I’m afraid I don’t have a background in medicine so I don’t know the answer exactly. It seems like as Coronavirus is completely new that even medical experts don’t know everything about it yet, but they are gathering lots of valuable information as more cases are diagnosed.

      Fortunately, I think toddlers will be very well taken care of and their risk of exposure will be minimised to try and prevent them from catching the virus. The majority of cases of Coronavirus have not had symptoms any more serious than the common cold/flu, so fingers crossed for the toddlers!
