The rise of corona towards children
A member of the committee to deal with Corona tells Khorasan that now 15% of the infected are children
Corona virus takes a new form every day. Now, the new concern about the dangers of Corona has been directed at children and teenagers, while in the first weeks and months of the spread of this virus, it was said that Corona is kind to children.
Some statistics of the rate of infection of children in the first weeks of the outbreak indicated a figure of 2%.
Yesterday, we went to two expert members of the National Committee for the Prevention of Corona to check the new developments about Corona and children. When I discuss the subject of my question with Dr. Masoud Mardani and Dr. Mohammad Reza Mehboob Far, both of them state and emphasize without any hesitation that the new form of the corona virus has spread to children and young people.
I would like to ask Mr. Mahboob Far, if possible, for the new conditions, to state the number or percentage of the number of children and adolescents infected, and he says in response: If we want to state a number and a figure for this section, I can boldly say that 15 The percentage of infected cases and 3% of deaths of this virus are now related to children aged 3 to 9 and 9 to 16 years, and 1% of deaths are infants to 3-year-old children.
Dr. Mehboob Far continues in this context: Based on the latest reviews and news, unfortunately we have to say that this virus has also affected children. If earlier it was said that corona infection is more common in people over 60 years old and people with underlying diseases, but now we see that corona has affected children and young people in its mutation period. The reason for that is the presence of children with their parents in indoor centers with high crowds.
children’s corona; Kawasaki
This member of the National Committee for the Prevention of Corona makes a comment about the symptoms of children and teenagers as follows: Corona in this age group is more like Kawasaki, which has flu-like symptoms. We currently have a significant number of young patients in Tehran’s Luqman and Imam Hossein (AS) hospitals in Isfahan, who have developed flu-like and Kawasaki-like symptoms.
Children and youth and gastrointestinal symptoms
I will share the same topic of what symptoms children and young people have at the beginning of the infection with Dr. Masoud Mardani, another expert member of the National Committee for the Prevention of Corona. Dr. Mardani also says: The new forms of the disease are now more common with digestive disorders such as anorexia, heartache, and diarrhea, which unfortunately are mostly children, teenagers, and young adults. The reason for that is the lack of attention of families in accompanying them in closed environments and gatherings.
What is the offer?
Regarding what should be done now so that the children of these parts of our body are not exposed to the harm of this violent virus, the suggestion of Dr. Mehboob Far, an expert of the National Committee for the Prevention of Corona and a member of the Health Education and Health Promotion Association of Iran is as follows: Our suggestion in this committee , the Ministry of Health and the National Staff to deal with Corona is that children should not leave the house as much as possible, and if there is a need to leave the house, they should follow the health rules such as wearing a mask.
