On 30 January 2020, WHO declared the outbreak a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC) and than on 11 March 2020, WHO declared the Coronavirus as a pandemic. The pandemic was called COVID-19.

SARS-CoV-2 can easily pass from animal to human, human to human, and through a droplet and direct contact with asymptomatic carriers. According to the recently published analysis of data from the Chinese Wubei Mainland region and 37 countries, the disease is fatal, especially in the elderly and comorbid population. According to the data from this study, no deaths were observed in the 0-9 age range. Only 1 death was observed in 549 cases in the 9-18 age range and the death ratio was calculated as 0.00182. 2 The most important position of children in the COVID-19 outbreak may be that they have a carrier function because they have asymptomatic or mild disease. reported that more than 90% of the 2143 paediatrics diagnosed with COVID-19 are mild or moderate to severe cases and the likelihood of severe disease was calculated as 6% in children, which was 18.5% in adults. 4 In conclusion, the COVID-19 pandemic, which affected the whole world, affected groups of all ages in various social areas. We believe that the COVID-19 pandemic may affect paediatric population more socially and psychologically than the disease.
