NDTV
AIIMS Director Randeep Guleria said data from the first and the second COVID-19 wave shows that children are usually protected from the infection and even if they get it, they have mild infection.
AIIMS Director Randeep Guleria said that there is no indication that children will be severely or more affected in the third wave of COVID-19. Responding to a question on the possible impact of a third wave on children, Mr Guleria said there is so far no evidence that there will be severe infection in children or there will be more cases in them in the upcoming wave of COVID-19. "Data from the first and the second wave shows that children are usually protected from Covid and even if they get it, they have mild infection," he said. He, however, said children have suffered collateral damage during the pandemic due to gender gap in education, stress and mental issues, smartphone dependence/addiction, and interrupted educational opportunities.
