Coronavirus outbreak is spreading rapidly in the country. The new variant of Kovid is more dangerous and it can easily infect children.
Symbolic picture
In India, more than L lakh 15 thousand coronavirus cases have come up on Wednesday. Experts believe that the second wave of corona is going on at this time and the next four weeks may prove to be more dangerous. Children are also getting infected in large numbers in the second wave of Corona. Recently, 400 children in Bengaluru were found to be corona infected, which has led to the question whether the second wave of Kovid will have much effect on children?
Experts believe that children are more likely to be infected with the virus. Now that the schools have opened and the children are talking to each other and are not following social distancing, they are coming in contact with the virus. Although people of every class are getting infected, but they are less risky than children. There have been very few cases of deaths of children from Corona. At the same time, the new variant of Kovid is more dangerous and it can easily infect children. At the same time, vaccination has not been given to children as of now.
The new variant of Corona can attack the immune system
Many research has claimed that the new version of the virus is lethal and can easily overcome immune defense and antibodies. Scientists believe that the new strain of the virus can spoil the immune system of children and strike easily. New strains show more symptoms than usual and sometimes patients need to be admitted to the hospital, due to which there is a need to be more careful about children.
