  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 wave.

  COVID-19 infection has been reported in children of all ages however case numbers seem to be far lower than in adults. Current evidence suggests that they generally experience a milder form of the illness than adults, with most infected children presenting with mild symptoms or none at all. While most children with COVID-19 experience mild symptoms or have no symptoms at all, some can become severely ill.  Ziqitza  says like adults, children can also spread the virus to others even if they are asymptomatic. Babies under 1 year old, and children with certain underlying conditions, may be more likely to experience severe illness if they contract COVID-19. Experts are also investigating the risk of a rare condition called Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MIS-C) which is associated with COVID-19 in children. Ziqitza Rajasthan  suggests how you can protect your children? Here’s how these tips can protect children and decrease their child’s risk by managing the amount of time

  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. While ambulance services in India have improved manifolds over the last few decades, there is still room for improvement, especially in a number of Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities. Additionally, with an estimated 130,000 deaths being a direct result of road accidents every year, the need for well-equipped ambulances is a major concern of today. In order to improve the quality of the patient’s ride and maximize his or her odds of survival, the gove
