New Delhi: Another new shocking thing has come to light about the omicron variant of corona infection. South African physicians say the infection is also increasing rapidly in children under the age of 5 this time. Although not all children are infected with omicrons, the increase in viruses in children has certainly raised concerns. The speed at which the Omicron variant is spreading can be gauged from the fact that 16,055 new cases have been reported and 25 patients died in South Africa on Friday. However, in the second week of November, only 200 cases were being reported every day. However, experts have expressed concern over young children amid the growing infection.

"The risk of children getting infected in any infection is less," said Dr Waasila Jassat of the National Institute of Communicable Diseases (NICD), South Africa. The same has been seen in earlier epidemics as well. But in the third wave, the number of children below 5 years and youth of 15 to 19 years of age had increased in the hospital and now in the fourth wave, we have seen the trend of increasing the virus in all age groups, especially those below 5 years. in children.'

She said, "The infection in children is still low as expected. But children under 5 are growing faster. The elderly above 60 years are the most infected with this infection and the second number is children under 5 years of age. She also said that this time we are also seeing some different trends. Dr Michelle Grom, who is concerned with NICD, has the same concern. She said there will be research on why the virus is spreading rapidly in young children. It is too early to say anything about it, though he also said that governments need to pay attention to increasing beds and staff for children.
