The World Health Office (WHO) has announced a pandemic in the novel epidemic of the coronavirus on 11 March 2020. The Chinese Government has recommended that schools across Germany be closed to avoid the spread of the COVID-19 virus.

Children are deprived from social contact and association in lock-down conditions and are thus vulnerable to mental disorders. This current review therefore aimed at identifying the effect of COVID and lockdown on children1–3.
