This toolkit guide concerns support for parents, children and, especially, adolescents with lockdown exit arrangements to enable them to adapt their lifestyles and calmly envisage a return to their usual activities based on a shared decision-making process. It describes:
- how to prevent COVID-19 infection in children and adolescents by promoting a positive strategy;
- how to ensure the continuity or resumption of healthcare and a return to usual activities for all infants, children and adolescents, including those with a chronic disease, seeking additional precautions compared to the general population, in the rare cases in which this proves to be necessary.
It is aimed at the following professionals: general practitioners, paediatricians, psychiatrists, psychologists, school doctors and nurses, midwives, nurses, physiotherapists, speech therapists, orthoptists, occupational therapists, psychomotor therapists, dieticians, pharmacists, social and medico-social sector professionals.
