Core Tip
Core tip: We established a prevention and control program for the novel coronavirus infection in a children’s digestive endoscopy center to prevent nosocomial infection. The program is based on the characteristics of pediatric patients, the severity of the epidemic, and a relatively high risk of infection due to invasive procedures, according to the related policies and regulations. The program is expected to be useful for pediatric digestive endoscopists as a guideline.
