On 31 March 2020 the International Committee of the American Thoracic Society Pediatrics Assembly recorded an online podcast, during which pediatric pulmonologists worldwide shared their experience on the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in children. The aim was to share personal experience in organizing pediatric care in different health care settings globally, protecting health care workers, and isolation practices. This manuscript summarizes the common themes of the podcast which centered around three main topics: more benign clinical disease and progression in pediatric cases compared to adults, a strong need for strategies to protect health care workers, and social or economic disparities as a barrier to successful pandemic control. © 2020 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.EnglishAll Open Access; Green Open AccessAdultBetacoronavirusChildChronic DiseaseCommunicable Disease ControlCoronavirus InfectionsDisease ProgressionGlobal HealthHealthcare DisparitiesHospitalizationHospitals, PediatricHumansInternationalityOccupational HealthPandemicsPediatricsPneumonia, ViralPulmonary MedicineQuarantineRespiration DisordersUnited StatesWebcasts as TopicadulthoodAfricaanxietychild carechild healthChinachronic respiratory tract diseasecomorbiditycomparative studycoronavirus disease 2019diabetes mellitusdisease burdendisease coursedisease severityemergency wardepidemicfeverfollow upground glass opacityhand washinghealth care availabilityhealth care facilityhealth care personnelhealth care planninghealth care systemhealth servicehigh income countryhospital admissionhospital dischargehospitalizationhumanHuman immunodeficiency virus infectionimmune deficiencyinfection controlisolationKorealung lesionmalignant neoplasmmortality ratenebulizationNoteoccupational safetypandemicpediatricianpriority journalprognosisquarantineradiological proceduresSevere acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2social aspectsocial distanceSouth and Central Americastresstelemedicinetuberculosisvirus transmissionadultBetacoronavirusbreathing disorderchildchronic diseasecommunicable disease controlcomplicationCoronavirus infectiondisease exacerbationglobal healthhealth care disparityhospitalinternational cooperationoccupational healthorganization and managementpediatricsprocedurespulmonologyUnited Statesvirus pneumoniawebcastNote10.1002/ppul.24800
