On the 22 March, 2022 the World Health Organisation held the 5th webinar in the COVID-19 Case Management Webinar Series: COVID-19 in children and young persons.
COVID-19 in children although in most cases mild, some children will present with moderate and severe disease. These children will require hospital admission and are at increased risk of complications and adverse outcomes.
This webinar focused on key elements to consider in the clinical management of mild, moderate or severe COVID-19 in children and young persons, bringing together clinical experts from around the world to discuss clinical management in the community, health facility and hospital-based management, including optimized supportive care, mental and psychosocial care and prevention of complications.
