About

This review provides guidance for managing children with COVID-19 who require intensive care in resource-limited settings like India. The coronavirus disease primarily causes respiratory illness, with a small percentage needing intensive care for severe complications. Diagnosis involves clinical, epidemiological, and laboratory factors. Preparedness strategies are crucial, including setting up specialized units and reallocating resources. Strict infection control measures are essential. Treatment options lack strong evidence.
