Amid concerns that the possible third wave of COVID-19 in India could affect children below the age of 18, the Union Ministry for Health and Family Welfare released a set of guidelines for treatment.
The government has suggested rational use of High-resolution CT (HRCT) for understanding the extent of lung involvement in patients and recommended against the use of Remdesivir in children. It has also said steroids should be used at the right time, in the right dose, and for the right duration. Self-medication of steroids must be avoided.
