New Delhi:
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has flagged a new Covid variant detected in Singapore, which he said, is proving dangerous for children. Arguing that it can "come as a third wave" in India, he suggested that the Centre takes immediate measures, including suspension of flights to and from Singapore.
"The new form of Corona that came to Singapore is being said to be extremely dangerous for children, in India it may come as a third wave. My appeal to the central government: 1. Air services with Singapore to be cancelled with immediate effect 2. Priority on vaccine options should be worked out for children too," he said in a Hindi tweet.
The Delhi Chief Minister's tweet comes amid concerns being raised over a third wave, which many experts said is likely to target children. The first wave has affected the elderly the most, and the younger people have been infected in the second wave, the experts reasoned.
"There is a possibility that the third wave virus will predominantly target the children, mainly because adults are either infected or immunised," cardiac surgeon and chief of Narayana Health, Dr Devi Shetty has told NDTV.
The government's Principal Scientific Adviser K Vijay Raghavan has warned that a third wave is "inevitable" and suggested that vaccines need to be "updated" to deal with the emerging strains.
"Phase three is inevitable given the higher levels of circulating virus, but it is not clear on what time-scale this phase three will occur. We should be prepared for new waves," he said. A day later, he, however added if correct measures are taken now, the country might dodge it.
Most nations are yet to approve any vaccine for the use of children, Last week, the US authorised Pfizer and BioNTech's COVID-19 vaccine for use in children aged between 12 years and 15 years. Canada is expected to follow.
On May 13, India gave clearance for Covaxin trials on children aged between two years and 18 years. Most states, including Delhi, though, are grappling with a vaccine shortage. Covaxin stocks in Delhi for the 18-44-year age group was exhausted last week.
