Early treatment of COVID-19 can help to prevent hospitalisation and complications, shows a study done in Italy.
The study, which covered the period between November 2020 and August 2021, was done by Professor Serafino Fazio and his team and published in Medical Science Monitor. It was made available online on December 8.
It recommends early treatment instead of a “wait and watch” approach towards mild or moderate infections. Many countries continue advising home isolation and paracetamol for symptomatic relief during the onset of the disease.

The draft policy for “Responsible Digital Use Among Students”, released on Monday by the Department of Health and Family Welfare, has recommended that parents set structured routines with clear screen-time rules and prioritise privacy, safety, and open conversation with children on digital well-being.
