The 2019 novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) is endangering human health worldwide; scarcity of published pediatric cases and current literature and the absence of evidence-based guidelines necessitate international sharing of experience and personal communication. On 31 March 2020 the International Committee of the American Thoracic Society Pediatrics Assembly recorded an online podcast, during which pediatric pulmonologists worldwide shared their experience on the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in children. The aim was to share personal experience in organizing pediatric care in different health care settings globally, protecting health care workers, and isolation practices. This manuscript summarizes the common themes of the podcast which centered around three main topics: more benign clinical disease and progression in pediatric cases compared to adults, a strong need for strategies to protect health care workers, and social or economic disparities as a barrier to successful pandemic control.
2019 年新型冠状病毒（SARS-CoV-2）正在威胁着全球人类的健康；由于发表的儿科病例和当前文献稀少，并且缺乏循证指南，因此有必要在国际上分享经验和个人交流。2020 年 3 月 31 日，美国胸科学会儿科大会国际委员会记录了一个在线播客，在此期间，世界各地的儿科肺科医生分享了他们在儿童新型冠状病毒病（COVID-19）方面的经验。目的是分享在不同全球医疗保健环境中组织儿科护理、保护医疗保健工作者以及隔离实践方面的个人经验。本文总结了播客的主要主题，这些主题围绕三个主要方面展开：与成年人相比，儿科病例的临床疾病和进展更为良性，保护医护人员的策略非常必要，以及社会或经济差距成为成功控制大流行的障碍。
