Based on this background, we analyzed the data concerning all pediatric patients with COVID-19 (0-18 years old) admitted to the San Matteo Hospital of Pavia until April 4. As of today (April 11), 17 children had COVID-19 diagnosis based on clinical data and positive swab (RT-PCR analysis). Analyzing the data concerning the whole Lombardy population, 29.3% of patients with COVID-19 had home isolation, 21.5% required low-medium-intensity care, 2.3% ICU admission, and 18.3% died.	./cache/cord-323141-6z750avb.txt	./txt/cord-323141-6z750avb.txt
