RISK ACTIVITIES OF CHILDREN DURING THE PANDEMIC AND SUMMER HOLIDAYS

Summary/Abstract: Introduction: In this paper, the authors present the riskiest activities of children during the school holidays and the current global pandemic. Using examples from different countries on children's injuries, they point out the most common aetiology of injuries in households, outdoor and indoor. Objective: The goal of the paper is to emphasise the prevention of serious injuries inindividual activities. Prevention can reduce the number and severity of injuries to children. Findings: Children's risky activities are the source of many observations, evaluated by paediatric injury specialists from all around the world. Statistical evaluation of injuries provides the possibility of an active approach in injury prevention. Conclusions: Preventive measures during the school holidays and currently during the pandemic will help reduce the number of injuries, their severity. Sports and recreational activities will thus lead to their primary goal, to provide rest, entertainment and relaxation for our “children” during the supervision of their parents, grandparents, instructors, carers and, mainly out-of-supervision activities.
