After a long time, the prediction of the Third Wave have again come into the picture. The Union Ministry of Health had set up a committee to monitor the Covid situation in the country and the MHA has now said that the third wave of the coronavirus (Covid-19) disease may reach its peak around October and children could be affected as severely as adults.
The MHA report has been submitted to the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) and it mentions the critical need of paediatric facilities, including doctors, staff, and equipment like ventilators and ambulances, if a large number of children got infected by the virus.
The report also mentioned that the availability of infrastructure was “no nowhere close” to the requirement, if the need arose.
