Authors revised the data of the number of patients undergoing surgery for CHD during the years 2019 and 2020. Fifty patients underwent surgery for CHD during April to July 2020, instead of 43 reported in the paper; and during similar time period in 2019, 409 patients underwent surgery for CHD, instead of 411 reported in the paper [1]. So, the percentage reduction in surgeries is 87.8% instead of 89.5% as reported earlier. Surgery for transposition of great arteries (arterial switch operation) (n = 20), repair of total anomalous pulmonary venous return (n = 9), and aorto-pulmonary shunts for TOF physiology (n = 6) constituted majority of surgeries that were performed during COVID pandemic. The inadvertent error in reporting of numbers is regretted.
