Diarrhoea, stomach aches and sickness have been identified as coronavirus symptoms in children as schools across Britain re-opened.

The symptoms don't appear in the official NHS list of three key Covid-19 signs - fever, coughing and loss of taste and smell - with officials reluctant to add them to avoid unnecessary worry, according to reports.

In contrast, the US Centers for Disease Control already lists nausea or vomiting and diarrhoea as possible symptoms. Scientists at Northern Ireland's University of Belfast claim they are major indicators of the potentially killer bug in kids, but coughing is not so reliable an indicator in youngsters as it is in adults.

Alec Baldwin Sued By Family Of ‘Rust’ Cinematographer Killed By Prop Gun For Wrongful Death

The family of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins has finally taken legal action against the Rust producers, including Alec Baldwin, nearly 4 months after her tragic on-set death. Lawyer Brian Panish filed a wrongful death lawsuit Tuesday (Feb. 15) in New Mexico on behalf of Halyna’s husband Matthew and their 9-year-old son Angelo, according to multiple reports. The lawsuit specifically called out Alec, 63, and the film’s producers for their “reckless behavior” on the film’s set the day Halyna died (Oct. 21). For those that forget, Alec accidentally discharged a prop gun that killed Halyna and injured director Joel Souza during filming.
