Infection with SARS-CoV-2 is more likely amongst children of Hispanic/Latinx ethnicity, Black/African-American race, aged 10-18 years, who are overweight/obese, from lower income households, and from minority neighbourhoods. Future studies should focus on the prevention of COVID-19 infection in children of highest risk.
