A. Yes more children are also turning positive compared to the first wave. Though the symptoms are mild it's equally important to protect them. It will be best if all the family members stay indoor and avoid unnecessarily getting out of the home specially if ur city has been reporting many cases of covid. Also not letting outsiders or visitors to ur home will be better. Whenever handling the child maintain proper hygiene by washing ur hands thoroughly or using a hand sanitizer. Since the child is in the stage of exploring and can put things in the mouth be extra careful and make sure his hands are cleansed every now and then.To protect the kids at home, to form a protective ring around them(who cannot be vaccinated for now) it is essential all the other elders get vaccinated (unless ur doctor has advised not to based on ur specific health condition).
