As concerns over Omicron spread among children rise, Amara Hospital in Tirupati has released data that showed that less than 3% of paediatric cases required admission in the current wave of the pandemic.
The study was conducted on patients who had visited the hospital with symptoms of the coronavirus infection.
However, the worrying trend is that the overall percentage of symptomatic children has seen a rise, compared to the number in the second wave.

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.
