Second, more and more children are falling victim to the virus. An AIIMS report in November 2020 revealed that almost 40 per cent of all the persons who tested positive for coron- avirus across age groups were found to be asymptomatic and 73.5 per cent, the high- est proportion of asymptomatic cases was reported among children below the age of 12. Come March 2021, and the number of children who have tested positive has reached alarming proportions. Dr Merlin Moni, Division of Infectious Diseases, Amrita Hospital, Kochi says that scientific explanation for the increase in the number B4:6 of cases in kids is at present incomplete. “However, they are issues specific 15 children which could contribute to current increasing number.
