【 摘 要 】

The clinical impact of the new SARS-CoV-2 lineage B.1.1.7 on children and young people (aged 18 years or younger) regarding acute respiratory COVID-19 is yet to be fully defined. Media reports of increases in admissions to hospital and more serious illnesses in children and young people have resulted in chaos and panic in public and implicated the B.1.1.7 variant as a cause of more pathogenic infection within this group.
