| الوصف: | Background: Children rarely develop severe or fatal coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) as compared to adults. We assessed disease trends, testing practices, community surveillance, case-fatality and excess deaths in children as compared to adults during the first pandemic peak in England. Methods: Public Health England conducts national COVID-19 surveillance using multiple national data sources. Daily positive and negative SARS-CoV-2 results are reported by public health, National Health Service and private laboratories across England.
