‘Brace for virus spread among kids’


PETALING JAYA: More refined data about Covid-19 infections and fatality among children is needed to understand how much of it is due to the Delta variant, say health experts. As more adults get vaccinated and more economic sectors open up, they expect more transmissions among children.

Senior consultant paediatrician Datuk Dr Amar Singh HSS (pic) said there had been an upswing of Covid-19 infections in children this year, especially since July.
