The third wave of Covid-19 could have a larger impact on children as the virus changes behaviour, the Centre has warned in this regard and is now preparing guidelines for the same.
“A national expert group has been formed to review COVID-19 infections in children and approach the pandemic in a renewed way so as to strengthen the nation's preparedness,” a PTI report said quoting NITI Aayog Member (Health) V K Paul.
Paul added that the group has examined signs which were not available 4-5 months before in the mutation of Covid and its impact on the children. While considering the available data, clinical profile, the country's experience, disease dynamics, nature of the virus and the pandemic, the panel has formed guidelines, which he said will be publicly released soon, PTI said in its report.
