Abstract

The novel coronavirus that results in COVID-19 has significantly impacted the global healthcare system and economy since first reported in December 2019.1 Many countries and states have enacted stay-at-home orders and implemented social distancing guidelines to mitigate disease transmission. One recent Italian study described delays in seeking pediatric emergency care for fear of COVID-19 infection, resulting in potentially avoidable intensive care unit admissions and deaths.
