Explaining why children mostly had these cross-reactive antibodies, lead author of the published study Kevin Ng said, it could be because they are more prone to being exposed to other coronavirus strains. This also explains why children in this age group are less vulnerable to become severely ill with Covid-19.

The spike protein of the Covid-19 causing SARS_CoV-2 that is the viral membrane that allows cell entry is made of two parts S1 andS2. While with S1, the virus clasps the cell, with S2, it enters the cell. The study found that the S2 parts that let entry in the virus strain are structurally similar to the common cold coronaviruses, helping antibodies formed from one to fight the other disease as well.

As more is there to be found  to establish a definitive conclusion an elaborate study is underway in collaboration with University College London and Imperial College, London.
