A closer look at the government data also reveals that, a little over 5 per cent (273/5409) of Tamil Nadu’s Corona Virus positive cases are children who are aged 12 and below. WION spoke to Doctors and Medical experts from the Government and Private sector to understand what these many number of Covid-19 cases among children mean. Dr Subramanian Swaminathan (Infectious Diseases Specialist)This increase in cases among children is very much an expected trend and cases in children will grow in parallel with cases in adults. We have seen positive cases in newborn babies as well, but even then, with mother’s milk alone and nil medication, we are able to treat them. They would be totally normal but they test COVID-19 positive.
