“…A first single time-point country-wide evaluation conducted at the end of the first peak in summer 2020 by the Italian National Institute of Statistics (ISTAT) highlighted a very low seroprevalence rate in the age group 0–17 years, ranging from 0.1% to 1.1% in North and Central Italy [ 5 ], but was not repeated afterwards. Other few studies were conducted, at either regional or local level [ 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 ], consistently showing, in line with the existing literature from other countries [ 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 ], lower seroprevalence rates in children compared to adults. However, all seroprevalence studies conducted in children in Italy [ 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 ] only included a single time-point assessment.…”
