The majority of children with COVID-19 infections, fortunately, shows only milder symptoms. Which however has led that they are considered only for their particular transmission potential. Nevertheless, cases with Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children and Kawasaki Disease with quite specific COVID-19 involvement have been reported and should be taken seriously. In addition, there are many children with a chronic pre-existing condition such as congenital heart disease, cancer, or lung disease who may be at risk for a severe course of COVID-19 when infected. Protecting these children, and children in general, should be a top priority, as these patients will have to live the rest of their long lives with possible sequelae of COVID-19.
幸运的是，大多数感染新冠病毒的儿童仅表现出较轻微的症状。然而，这导致人们仅因其特殊的传播潜力而关注他们。尽管如此，已经报告了儿童多系统炎症综合征和川崎病伴有相当特殊的新冠病毒感染情况的病例，应予以重视。此外，有许多患有先天性心脏病、癌症或肺病等慢性基础疾病的儿童，感染新冠病毒后可能有患重症的风险。保护这些儿童以及一般儿童应是首要任务，因为这些患者可能要在余生中承受新冠病毒感染的后遗症。
