A total of 6,288 infections have been reported in the district so far in May. Officials of the medical department say that a large number of people turned COVID19 positive in May.
It is suspected that children who have come in close contact with infected family members may have later turned positive.
It is a matter of fact that at the moment no serious case of children has come out yet. All are in home isolation. Most of the children have recovered. Infection in children up to 18 years from other patients is natural. Medical officials say that if parents or anyone else in the house gets infected, then children and teenagers also get infected by coming in contact with them.

District Collector Piyush Samaria said that COVID19 infection has been found in children from the beginning. Children, up to 18 years of age are getting corona infected but there has been no case of hospitalization. Comprehensive preparations are being made by looking at the possible third wave of Corona. The district hospital has been alerted. At present, there is no serious patient among children.
Experts at the national level are constantly appealing that children need to be taken care of. Children's immunity power is low and they also do not understand the seriousness of masks and social distancing. In this case, children should be fully taken care of. There is not even a system of vaccination for children, so in the third wave, children can get more affected due to Covid-19.
