A large percentage of people who have been infected by the SARS CoV-2 virus that causes the known COVID-19 pandemic and its variants demonstrate that they have had a duration of more than 12 weeks with symptoms related to the illness. Children, girls, and adolescents cannot cope with this situation, being a population vulnerable to the prolonged effects of the virus. This study aims to carry out a descriptive investigation of the impacts of the post-COVID-19 syndrome on children and adolescents in the educational institutions of the locality of La Candelaria. For this, a documentary investigation of outstanding scientific articles on the study of the post-COVID-19 syndrome in childhood and adolescence is carried out. A survey was applied that grouped the data of the minors who had suffered the illness after 12 weeks. The investigations on the topic point out that the disease of the syndrome post-COVID-19 in children has low risk, but in adolescents and young adults, the possibility of suffering the prolongation of signs and symptoms of the virus increases.
