Haveri: Experts have warned that the new variant of Coronavirus Novel will affect children in the third wave.
After the third wave began in Haveri, more than 354 children had contracted Covid-19 in just 15 days.
The second wave has also affected children in the district and more than 700 children have been tested positively during the first and second waves.
Now, children have been infected in a short time, and fortunately care for less inpatients.
Parents are negligent to test their children even when they show symptoms.
In the third wave, the pandemic has spread at high speed to the community, and children are easily infected because they do not maintain social distance and do not wear masks.
Fortunately, no child was hospitalized after positive testing in the district and all of them received treatment when in home insulation because the intensity of the pandemic was very lacking.
Recognizing this, District Surgeon Dr.
Havanur, who is also a pediatrician, said, “This time the school operates so that children are exposed to the virus easily.
In such a way that more children have contracted the virus in the third wave than the two previous waves.
But children Children have recovered quickly because they have good immunity.
Interestingly, they never thought Covid-19 was very dangerous and they never cared about infection.
“Dr.
HS Raghavendraswamy, district health workers recorded that the intensity of the pandemic in the third wave was very low .
All 354 children recovered in house isolation and therefore no need to worry, he added.
“We ask school authorities and parents, do not allow children whose symptoms enter the class and immediately send them to the RT-PCR test.
This will help curb virus transmissions,” he said.
