The New York Times issued a correction Thursday to an article which falsely stated 4,000 children aged 5-11 had died of a COVID-related illness.
“An earlier version of this article incorrectly referred to the numbers of children aged 5 to 11 with multisystem inflammatory syndrome. About 4,000 have been diagnosed, not died, with the syndrome,” the NYT correction read. The correction was issued after the false statement was mocked on social media.
