A federal health agency has announced the launch of a major study into how the CCP virus, the novel coronavirus that causes COVID-19, infects children.

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) said in a release that it is launching the study, called Human Epidemiology and Response to SARS-CoV-2 (HEROS), “to help determine the rate of novel coronavirus infection in children and their family members.” NIH refers to the virus by its scientific designation, SARS-CoV-2.
