About

The article provides a summary of managing COVID-19 in children. It describes the lack of data on optimal care due to fewer severe cases in kids. Key points include monitoring mild and moderate cases, using local protocols for respiratory symptoms, and considering prone positioning. Critical care should follow established guidelines with PPE use during procedures like resuscitation. Emerging therapies such as convalescent plasma and antivirals are under review, but treatments should be part of clinical trials when possible. The focus is on safety for both patients and healthcare workers while following best practices.
