Dear Colleagues,
Children’s leaders have asked that we share a brief daily update. Today, I would like to share with you a few articles as well as some recent updates.
I have attached COVID-19 articles. The first article, recently published in
Pediatrics
, describes the epidemiology of > 2000 children with the 2019 coronavirus disease in China. As highlighted in this article, > 90% were asymptomatic, mild or moderate. These children can appear with very mild symptoms, but serve as a vector for others. I have also attached the commentary associated with this article from
Pediatrics
. In addition, I have attached a recent article published in
Science
that highlights the rapid geographic spread of this virus.
