Description
Summary:•Children with CLDs have a similar susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2 infection, regardless of the underlying etiology of liver disease.•Children with chronic liver disease (CLD) and suspected or confirmed COVID-19 present with mild symptoms, or may be even asymptomatic, similarly to the general pediatric population.•Chronic liver disease likely does not represent an additional risk factor for severe disease course of COVID-19.
