Relationship with Domestic Spread and Progression of COVID-19 in Children

[...]in order to reduce the spread of the disease, family clustering should be determined and quarantine measures should be taken. The predominance of with many children traditional lifestyle may cause increased domestic clustering. [...]during this period, various control measures were taken for children, with some restrictions, and travel bans were imposed except when necessary (9). Contact screening and isolation of children is important in epidemic control, due to the detection of asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) positive children and increasing rate of domestic positivity. According to this guideline, in the presence of epidemiological and clinical findings, SARS-CoV-2 RNA RT-PCR positive cases were accepted as confirmed cases, and SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR negative cases were accepted probable cases (10).
