in the last three months over 140,000 children have been infected because of covid in the state of karnataka alone. doctors here have told me most have not required hospitalisation and are only exhibiting milder symptoms but the real challenge in such cases is when parents or guardians of hospitalised and even their own extended family members or members of the community do not want to take care of the children because of the fear of transmission of the virus. and that's where a group of volunteers are trying to lend a helping hand. this covid care centre is only for children in bangalore, an option that didn't exist for parents until now. paediatric nurses and doctors here not only monitor children's health, but they also engage them in different activities to overcome their covid anxiety. this looks like a hospital but the children feel very happy because they watch movies and play
