Dhananjay Sarji, child specialist and member of Shivamogga district level experts’ panel on COVID-19, has said parents need not worry about their children as the virus has weakened in the third wave of the pandemic.
He spoke in a press conference of the experts’ panel at the Deputy Commissioner’s office in Shivamogga on Monday.
Anti-bodies have already developed in a majority of children. Chances of affecting children would be less. The infection that spread through children could help in creating herd immunity, bringing down the impact of the virus.
