However, with the product obtained in the future, it is expected that the researches to be made with more concrete data will be expanded and definite results will emerge. Pediatric cases diagnosed with COVID-19 are less frequent than those found in the data specified in studies where they received the clinical cloud around seven. It was emphasized that although the clinical picture in children is mild, it has a carrier feature (secondary) and may cause major effects against its direct (primary) effects. Studies have reported that there may be approximately 30 million risks worldwide due to the COVID-19 pandemic process and its indirect (secondary) effects.
