SRCC Children’s Hospital diagnoses around 15-20 children with Covid-19 every day, these days. In the last wave in 2020, “children were hardly contracting the disease; the caseload was 10%-15% of what it is today”, she told IndiaSpend. The youngest patient she has treated was four months old. Nearly 11.5% of the 56 lakh Covid-19 cases reported between January 1 and April 21 were in the age group zero to 20 years, government data show. This is just under the 12% of cases in this age group in all of 2020, but doctors say they are treating more children and adolescents with Covid-19 in this second wave because of the sheer number of cases in a shorter span of time.
