COVID-19 and Children

Children are not the face of this COVID-19 pandemic. But they risk being among its biggest victims, as children’s lives are nonetheless being changed in profound ways. All children, of all ages, and in all countries, are being affected, in particular by the socio-economic impacts and, in some cases, by mitigation measures that may inadvertently do more harm than good. UNICEF is the world’s leading source of data on children.
