COVID-19: paediatric surveillance, PHE (updated 28th July 2020)

Children represent a small proportion of the total number of confirmed cases, with older adults and those with underlying co-morbidities particularly affected by the current global pandemic. Whilst this is reassuring for paediatricians, there are limited data on childhood SARS-CoV-19 infections, especially from Europe. 28 July 2020 Added updated sKIDs protocol. 12 June 2020 Added studies 5 to 7: RAPID-19 study; sKIDs COVID-19 surveillance in school children; and Multi-system inflammatory syndrome, Kawasaki disease and toxic shock syndrome.
