Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray held a virtual meeting with veteran paediatricians on Thursday night to decide the framework of the taskforce and its mandate. The government is expected to announce its set-up shortly and Dr Bakul Parekh, past president of the Indian Academy of Paediatrics (IAP), is likely to be its chairperson. Another contender for this position is Dr Suhas Prabhu from Hinduja Hospital, who was formerly paediatrician to Aaditya Thackeray.

BANGALORE - Nine-year-old Malhar Inimai was not happy when he woke up with a mild fever at 3.30am last weekend. I knew it was a Covid symptom, the fourth grader in Bangalore said. The next morning, Malhar woke up to the bad news that he and his grandmother, 67, had tested positive for the coronavirus. For the first three days, I felt dizzy and I just wanted to collapse and fall down. After three days, I was okay, said Malhar. He described what home isolation meant: he was to stay within two rooms, wear an N95 mask when someone was around and not touch his parents. If he felt feverish or breathless, he had to inform an adult.
