In January 2020, the WHO reported the outbreak of a new SARS-CoV2 virus, declaring it a public health crisis on an international scale. Following the announcement of widespread lockdown, the child psychiatry liaison team of the University Hospitals of Cannes and Grasse established a health monitoring mechanism (via telephone contact) for adolescents who had been admitted to the pediatric emergency department during the first quarter of 2020.
