Abstract
The novel Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) disease (COVID-19) represents an unprecedented public health issue for the general population and for patients with underlying chronic conditions. Compared to adults, children seem to have a milder course of the disease, with very few requiring medical attention.
