ISLAMABAD: While experts are of mixed opinion about the UK variant of Covid-19 being more transmissible in children, data shows cases have increased in children more rapidly compared to adults and elderly people.
However, they say there are fewer chances in children to translate the infection into a disease.
A double variant virus has been reported in India which showed that the virus has continuously been mutating and can become more lethal.
On the other hand, record numbers of tests were conducted and cases reported in Pakistan since June 2020.
