  The second wave of COVID-19 witnessed a surge in the number of kids infected by the virus. Kids who were until then being considered as silent carriers were equally prone to the virus this time and showed varied symptoms. This stirred a lot of questions among parents regarding the third wave. Ziqitza Limited has gone through the data which says almost 90 percent of COVID-19 infection cases reported in the second wave of coronavirus, either kid had mild symptoms or were asymptomatic. This is due to the lesser expression of specific receptors to which this infectious virus binds to enter the body and immune system. This reduces the risk of developing a moderate or severe infection in kids. Indeed, kids are equally at risk of developing an infection, but the risk of severe infection is unlikely. Children are not immune from the infection, but the impact is minimal. Out of all the COVID-19 cases, only 3 to 4 percent of the total number of kids were hospitalised in the second wa...

  Being a critical component of emergency medical services, ambulances are largely responsible for whether a patient is able to receive appropriate medical assistance at the earliest. However, EMS services provided by ALS and BLS ambulances are not always enough, and patients often need to be transported to the nearest hospital at the earliest, to receive appropriate medical care. As such, there are a number of critical features which ambulances absolutely must have, in order to make the patient’s ride comfortable, improving his chances of survival.
