We conducted a quasi-experimental interrupted time series analysis based on multicenter prospective French surveillance data for pediatric emergency department (PED) visits and related hospital admissions. [13] While the role of the children in the dissemination of SARS-CoV-2 is still being discussed, finding that school closure and national lockdown were linked to a dramatic decrease in pediatric emergency visits concerning gastroenteritis, acute otitis media, bronchiolitis, and other viral diseases could be not only an unexpected benefit for the children but could also raise the question of the impact on the health care system of starting lifting the French national lockdown by reopening the schools. ./cache/cord-287676-qh7zeyyx.txt ./txt/cord-287676-qh7zeyyx.txt
