The first part of the scenario is the pre-triage where the paediatric nurse/learner should take a full medical history of the child, showing that the child went with her family to visit some relatives in Codogno, Lombardy area, 10 days before, and her aunt is now hospitalised for a COVID-19 infection. A disease-specific scenario for COVID-19 allows testing of local guidelines. Discussion This simulation case provides a way to test and implement procedures for prompt identification, isolation, and management of a suspected COVID-19 infection in a paediatric patient. The first objective of the scenario is the prompt recognition of a suspected case of COVID-19 infection from the epidemiological history of a "close contact" plus medical history of acute respiratory disease.
