Most children who have contracted COVID-19 have reported only mild to moderate symptoms, with many recovering at home, and there has been no increase in the number of cases among children in the city, stated D. Randeep, BBMP Special Commissioner (Health). He told reporters here on Tuesday that the number of hospital admissions among children was very low. The civic body had recently also issued an advisory to residents’ welfare associations, who have been directed to prioritise on children’s safety and check the spread of COVID-19 on their premises. The BBMP had set up a fever clinic and a triage centre at Dr. Babu Jagjivan Ram Hospital. A 30-bed COVID-19 Care Centre dedicated for children has been established. This centre has two CUs, eight HDU, and 20 oxygenated beds to treat children with mild and moderate symptoms, he said.
