Coronaviruses are a group of highly enveloped, diverse, and RNA-containing viruses that lead into respiratory, intestinal, hepatic, and neurological diseases with varied severity in a wide spectrum of animal species, such as human. In December 2019, a new coronavirus was detected in China that was stronger than the rest of the Coronaviridae family, causing potential hurt to vital organs such as the lungs, heart, liver, kidneys, and pneumonia. Although COVID-19 was reported in adults during early stages of the epidemic, further studies have shown that young children and infants are also vulnerable to the infection. Since this disease occurs in children and infants and since it may in some cases cause a critical and severe condition in them, the present study tries to find methods of prevention and treatment approaches in children with the coronavirus.
