Abstract

Since December 2019, the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has spread globally. But the clinical symptoms and detailed follow-up of children with COVID-19 infection are lacking. Here, we conducted a retrospective study including children with confirmed COVID-19. We recorded patients' epidemiological, clinical features, and follow-up data after discharging in order to improve the awareness and treatment of children with COVID-19.
