The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has become a global pandemic.Studies on epidemiological and clinical characteristics of patients with COVID-19 have indicated that children are susceptible to SARS-CoV-2 [1-3].To date,the largest study in China reported that over 90％ of 2143 children with COVID-19 were asymptomatic,or had mild or moderate illness,and that 5.8％ presented critical illness [3].Although the data of neonates are limited and only six neonates with COVID-19 have been reported thus far,several important points should be addressed from these neonatal cases.
