Abstract
The incidence of COVID-19 infection in infants and children is low and most cases have only few (rhinitis, fever) or no symptoms. However, a high viral load may be present in the upper and lower airways thus imposing specific precautions for ENT surgeons taking care of children. In the next paragraphs, we will discuss some situations upon a background of available guidelines for outpatient and in-patient management.
