6.5 lakh children to be tested for COVID-19 in Mysuru

The Hindu  

The Health Department’s “Arogya Nandana”, a new initiative to test all children for COVID-19, has proposed to cover 6.5 lakh children in Mysuru district. The programme was launched to lay emphasis on the health of children aged between 0 and 18 years, including those studying in private schools, who would undergo screening. Parents of children with Moderate Acute Malnutrition and Severe Acute Malnutrition and co-morbidities would get vaccination on priority. With the Department of Women and Child Development supporting the initiative, steps would be taken to supply ration to children.
