| description | Background: Initial publications of COVID-19 (2019 coronavirus disease) focused on the adult population until March 2020, when the first series in children was reported. Our objective was to analyze the spatiotemporal behavior of the pediatric population with COVID-19 in the state of Jalisco. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study including subjects < 18 years of age with SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2) infection confirmed by reverse transcription- polymerase chain reaction, registered in the RADAR platform. We investigated the prevalence, incidence rate, age, sex, outpatient or inpatient status, distribution of cases by time, municipality of residence, and geographical region. Descriptive statistics were used for data analysis. Results: Of 58,231 subjects studied, 1,515 were children (3%): 768 males (51%) and 747 females (49%). The mean age was 12 ± 5 years; outpatients predominated (94%). The Central region concentrated the largest cases with 1,257 (82%) and was the second-highest incidence rate, behind the Occidental Coastal-Mountain region. The most affected municipality was Guadalajara. The distribution of new cases increased proportionally to mobility: after the holiday weekend in May, it rose from 28 to 161 cases; after the opening of beaches and recreational sites in June and July, to 539; and after the opening of movie theaters in August, to 673 cases. Conclusions: Although with a lower incidence, the pediatric population is not exempt from SARS-CoV-2 infection. We observed an increase in cases as restrictions on social activities diminished.
