What doctors know about MIS-C, a way COVID-19 attacks children

Doctors are seeing an illness in kids that appears to be related to coronavirus. It's called Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children, or MIS-C. The CDC has issued a health advisory for MIS-C and now has a dedicated team investigating it. But there's still a lot of information that doctors don't know about it. Dr. Audrey John, the Chief of the Division of Pediatric Infectious Diseases at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia joins KYW In Depth to talk about what MIS-C is, how it attacks children, and how they're treating kids with MIS-C at CHOP.
