How children play a major role in COVID-19 transmission

06 Apr 2024  |  mid-day.com
Recent research indicates that children could be significant spreaders of COVID-19, challenging earlier assumptions of their low risk. The World Health Organization now recommends masks for children aged 12 and over, and possibly for those aged 6-11. A study in two Indian states found that children transmit the virus mostly within their own age group. The study, which is the largest on COVID-19 transmission patterns, involved tracing over half a million contacts of 85,000 cases. Experts emphasize the need for careful consideration before reopening schools and suggest that precautions such as mask-wearing, distancing, and proper ventilation are necessary to prevent outbreaks. There is also a call for enhancing testing among children to monitor transmission.
