Most children were either asymptomatic (36%) or had mild disease (58%). 145 children (25%) had pre-existing medical conditions, and 363 (62%) were admitted to the hospital. 48 (8%) individuals required ICU admission, 25 (4%) machines to support respiration (mechanical ventilation), 19 (3%) medications to support blood pressure (inotropic or vasopressor support), and one required extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (an advanced form of cardiovascular life support).
