Youngsters contributing to surge in Covid cases, must exercise caution: AIIMS Director

The possibility of youngsters infecting the elderly group with Covid-19 is high, AIIMS (Delhi) Director Dr Randeep Guleria said.

Youngsters are contributing to the rise in Covid-19 cases, Dr Randeep Guleria said. One of India's most renowned medical practitioners, Dr Guleria is Director of the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in New Delhi. Speaking to India Today TV on Thursday, Dr Randeep Guleria said people in the younger age group are going out and mixing despite the surge in Covid-19 cases. They are less fearful since they feel that the infection will be mild if they catch it and therefore, fail to adhere to Covid-appropriate behaviour, said Dr Guleria.
