COVID-19 rapid guideline: managing COVID-19 [NG191], NICE (updated 10th August 2021)

This guideline covers the management of COVID-19 for children, young people and adults in all care settings. It brings together our existing recommendations on managing COVID-19, and new recommendations on therapeutics, so that healthcare staff and those planning and delivering services can find and use them more easily. We are continually monitoring the evidence and updating the guideline as new information emerges. Priority areas for update include recommendations on heparins. On 10 August 2021, we corrected an error in the practical info section of the recommendations on corticosteroids. The dose of prednisolone for children with a greater than 44-week corrected gestational age is 1 mg/kg.
