MUMBAI: The results of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation s first paediatric sero-survey show over 50% of the children surveyed have antibodies to the Covid-causing SARS-CoV-2, allaying fears that the probable third wave would disproportionately affect kids.
BMC commissioner I S Chahal called the results, released on Monday, as encouraging . The presence of antibodies in blood reveals a past infection and, more importantly, indicates the person has immunity against the same infection for some period of time.
The paediatric survey was carried out by BMC-run Nair Hospital doctors, with 2,176 samples collected from the 24 civic wards in Mumbai. To get a picture from across socio-economic levels, 1,283 samples were taken from BMC-run Aapli Chikitsa Network and Nair Hospital that offer free tests, while 893 samples were taken from two private labs.
