Less than 2% of the paediatric population is affected by COVID- 19.

In paediatric population the virus is less symptomatic and fatal
compared with adult population. Infected children usually have mild
symptoms and 15-30% are asymptomatic. Severe disease requiring
oxygen supplementation is 3% and critically is less than 1%. (5)
