With experts cautioning that children are likely to be predominantly affected during the third wave, the Health Department is all set to launch ‘Arogya Nandana’, a new initiative to test all children for COVID-19 in Karnataka. Chief Minister Basvaraj Bommai will launch the programme within a week, Health and Medical Minister K. Sudhakar said here on Tuesday. Addressing presspersons, the Minister said over 1.5 crore children in the State will be tested for COVID-19 under this initiative. “Besides, children with low immunity and other co-morbidities will be identified, and provided with nutritious food and supplements to boost their immunity. All measures will be taken to monitor their health,” Dr. Sudhakar said.More Related News
