Some Evidence Shows Children Could Be Covid-19 Spreaders, Says ICMR Chief

News 18  

There is some evidence which shows that children who were earlier thought to be protected against coronavirus infection can be "spreaders, rather than super-spreaders", ICMR Director General Balram Bhargava said on Tuesday. Speaking on the coronavirus infection spread in the country among children, Bhargava said overall the figure in India is that below the age of 17 years, only 8 per cent are COVID-19 positive. Over Kawasaki disease and presumably a link with COVID-19, Bhargava said India so far has not reported any cases of Kawasaki disease among COVID-19 patients. Kawasaki is an auto-immune disease that affects children who are less than five years of age and presents with fever, Thrombocytosis and a condition in which the arteries of the heart become dilated and aneurysm.
