‘Impact on children a serious concern’
The Tamil Nadu government has constituted a seven-member task force in all districts headed by the Collector for providing intervention programmes to provide care and protection to children affected and infected by COVID-19 as well as children of COVID-19-affected/infected parents.
An unprecedented and unexpected widespread rise in COVID-19 cases during the second wave had devastated the lives of citizens and many had lost their lives. The impact of COVID-19, especially affecting children was a serious concern, an official release stated.
The district-level task force would check the details of all adults, who have died due to COVID-19 and find out if children have been orphaned or children are in need of care and protection. The task force would produce such children before the Child Welfare Committee.
