We all managed to get through the 1st wave of Covid-19 knowing that our kids were safe. But now, the second wave has affected our kids as well. Once the 'second wave' was officially declared, it also became clear very quickly that this time COVID was hitting kids much much more.
The second Covid-19 surge with its mutations has turned everything upside down. The number of children being affected by the Coronavirus is staggering. The newer variants of the virus, known to be stronger and deadlier can easily surpass immune defences and antibodies.
Dr Nihar Parekh is a leading paediatrician in Mumbai and we spoke to him about the growing concern amongst parents. We spoke to Dr Parekh about COVID-19 symptoms, how to isolate from children, and more.
