Attention! Infant younger than three months has a fever of 38 degrees or higher
Attention! Having spasms multiple times in a short time or continued spasms for five minutes or longer
When your child is not diagnosed as infected (e.g. being in close contact with the infected) but having the above symptoms, contact an emergency medical consultation or #8000
Even when your child develops a fever, there is no need to hastily call an ambulance if he/she can take in food and water, sleep and play.
If your child has any underlying illness, such as a cardiovascular or respiratory disease, and is visiting a university hospital or pediatric clinic, be sure to consult with the doctor in advance about the points of attention for the time when he/she is infected with COVID-19.
