Abstract
To date, researchers have found that in children, unlike in adults, the disease is usually asymptomatic. However, special attention should be paid to children of all ages as they play an important role in the spread of the disease.
Children do not have a high percentage of coronavirus infections and are less likely to be affected by today's pandemic, but their lives have been changed due to the social and economic impact of COVID-19.
While children are not directly exposed to COVID-19, the indirect impact of stressful healthcare systems and disruption to essential services such as immunization and antenatal care can lead to a dramatic increase in infant mortality.
Several factors associated with quarantine measures can cause family tension and additional stress. The COVID-19 pandemic has increased the risk of violence against children, and child protection services have been partially weakened by measures to combat the spread of the virus.
Anxiety in adults over exposure to COVID-19 can affect children's sensitivity and ability to respond to anxiety. Children are strongly associated with the emotional state of adults; Children perceive incomprehensible and unpredictable behavior as a threat, which is even more worrying.
