| Popis: | Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) appeared in December 2019 in Wuhan, Hubei province, China. Soon after, it was discovered to be a novel human virus and it subsequently spread throughout the world, leading to a global pandemic. From the experience we have so far with this virus, it appears that compared to most other respiratory viral illnesses to which they are typically highly susceptible, children are affected less by SARS-CoV-2 than adults. It will continue to be important to collect data and study different populations to learn more about how children are affected by the disease, particularly as we head back to school in different forms this fall. We also must pay close attention to whether or not children are significant transmitters of the disease, as this is largely unknown and will have an affect on those who are providing care for children at school, daycare, and at home.
