The daily rise in COVID–19 numbers is no cause for concern and India’s focus should be on protecting those who may develop severe outcomes after the infection, say experts.
“The high risk and vulnerable population needs to be protected. The children are at the least risk of developing poor outcomes. In this backdrop, the schools should continue to function for offline classes in full capacity,’’ said public health expert Chandrakant Lahariya.
He said that in the context of children getting infection or being more prone, “they are not an exception.’.
