Third Wave: No Signs of effect on Children

54

AIIMS director Dr. Randeep Guleria says that children are already under a lot of stress due to the coronavirus. Their education has been badly affected. In addition, the use of smartphones and the Internet has also increased rapidly. The effect of which is being seen in the behavior of children. In such a situation, people should be saved from a theory like saving children from the third wave. No signs of severe or overbearing children in the third wave.

Dr. Guleria said that it is wrong to say that coronavirus has only an effect on children. Because year-round, it is seen that the infection is in every age group, but life is more than 45 years, especially in the elderly.


Their methods of defense are the same for all of us. Such as face masks, distance from the crowd, and the habit of washing hands frequently. Such scientific evidence has not been found so far, on the basis of which one can say that children will be more infected, not older, in the third or fourth wave. This is completely wrong. People get nervous by talking like this.

We all need to avoid these discussions immediately. However, attention must be paid to the safety of the children or their families. May we not be so careless that even safety measures are forgotten.

No evidence of infection in children in the third wave

Dr. Guleria, director of AIIMS Delhi, said that in the first and second waves of the corona, infection in children has been seen very little. So far, it is not likely that the third wave of corona will see a covid infection in children.
