    © 2020, Sociedad Chilena de Pediatria. All rights reserved.The SARS-CoV-2 emergency has caused major new challenges for both public health and medical clinical practice since the first cases reported in Wuhan, China. The challenges in emergency care ran-ge from changes in the flow of patients, care areas, ways of working, personal protective equipment, and intensive training in order to properly care for adults and children with coronavirus disease (CO-VID-19). In this publication, we propose guidelines on organizing the emergency department in the face of this pandemic, and how to provide medical care for the pediatric patient with either suspected or confirmed COVID-19 who seek care in the emergency room. We obtained the necessary data from national and international guidelines and the scientific literature available from PubMed, CDC, NIH, and the Chilean national health authorities.
