Abstract
Data on the prevalence of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection in children,1-4 and in children with cancer specifically have been limited. Less than 1% of cases reported from China were in children younger than 10 years.3 The MSK Kids pediatric program at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) is one of the largest pediatric cancer programs in the US. Starting in mid-March, 2020, we instituted a screening and testing plan to mitigate risk associated with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
