Study background, aims and methodology: The 2019–20 coronavirus outbreak is an ongoing public health emergency of international concern involving coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). At the end of December 2019, the epidemic of the novel coronavirus 2019-nCOV infection has spread from the initial place of Wuhan, Huibei province in China, resulting in an epidemic throughout China, with sporadic cases reported globally.

The elderly, as well as people with primary diseases, are more likely to die from the infection. Children with chronic kidney disease (CKD), and children on dialysis, are vulnerable, due to their primary diseases and low immunity, especially those who suffer from long-term hormone, immunosuppressive therapy, and maintenance hemodialysis.

The aim of this study was to analyse the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of the novel coronavirus, and to explore the infection prevention and control strategies of 2019-nCoV in children with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and children on dialysis.

Data were collected from the 2019-nCoV management plan of the National Health Commission of the People’s Republic of China and relevant guidelines. Data on the COVID-19 cases in China, including the number of people, clinical characteristics, effective prevention and control measures from January 20^th to February 21^st, 2020, and statistical data on CKD in children were collected.
