Overview

In order to clarify the current management of young sick children in France, whether or not they are cared for in community settings (nursery, schools), paediatricians have proposed an algorithm whose objective is to help define the indications for PCR-Sars-CoV-2 (https://www.infovac.fr/actualites/bulletin-special-mai-2020).

This algorithm, in two parts, can be used, when symptoms are detected in children, to orient and guide :

• first, parents and community personnel to recognize the signs of infection call signs that should involve medical consultation;
• but also, the physicians who will carry out this medical evaluation and will have to decide whether or not PCR screening is necessary, in parallel with their diagnostic and therapeutic management, which should not be altered in this particular context

Our main objective is to describe, after the confinement phase, the management of young sick children in the community (crches, nursery and elementary schools, etc.) or not in order to best define the indications for PCR-Sars-CoV-2
