NITI Aayog member cautions about mutations, infections in children
India is showing a steady decline in the number of new COVID cases but this decline should not be taken for granted, said Member, (Health) of the NITI Aayog V.K. Paul on Friday. Speaking at a press conference, Dr Paul added that the coronavirus is mutating and “we can’t lower our guards”. “Studies have also shown that children have equal susceptibility as adults so we have to be ready to ensure that we are in a position to cater to them in case numbers rise again,” he added. Dr. Paul explained that a World Health Organisation and All India Institute of Medical Sciences (WHO-AIIMS) survey shows seropositivity in persons below and above 18 years of age is almost similar.More Related News
