What is Known:

The SARS-CoV-2 infection does not often progress with an invasive clinic in children.

Thymus activity and T lymphocyte functions are highly active in children.

What is New:

Effective thymus activity and T lymphocyte function in children protect them against the invasive SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Stimulating and preventing the inhibition of the thymus can be possible treatment components against COVID-19.
