Dr. Sheila Aiyer, professor and head of Paediatric department said, from last five to six days cases of children became Corona positive arrived at the hospital and under treatment. Mostly their parents and care takers are positive and hence they get the infection. However those who are stable can get the treatment at home quarantine.

Children are now prone to the infection and hence they have raised a ten bed facility at the paediatric ward of the hospital.
