 The ratio in the city was around 1 to 2 percent during the peak period last year. In the last 15 days, a total of 87 children in the capital in the age group of 0 to 14 are Covid-19 positive. According to data analysis, about 45 percent of the total new infections in the city are children under the age of 10 years. Besides, gender division suggests that boys are found to be more infected than girls. This figure shows the internal weakness of boys. The census data of Bhubaneswar shows that the population of this age group in the capital is around 2.7 lakhs. About 10 percent of them are in the age group of 0 to 6 years.

 

 Recovery rate significantly lower in the second wave

 

Analysis of Corona data showed that the recovery so far in the second wave is much lower. The recovery rate in Corona's first wave was 83 percent, which is 25 percent today. This marks a harrowing day for the smart city.

 

 Children infected more due to negligence

 

According to a senior BMC official, the corona is spreading quite rapidly in the second wave. The virus spread to the working-age group (20–45 years) in the first wave. Last time prevalence among children was slow. This time the number of children is considerable. The official said that it has been observed that most of the children in the city are not following the Covid-19 rules strictly. They still mingle with each other in playgrounds. There is a need to curb this.

 

 The transition from academic institutions spread very fast

 

Another aspect is that after the opening of schools and educational tutorial institutes after a long time, the children got a chance to move out of the houses after a long gap. During this time the Corona rules were not followed properly. A large number of institutes have come under the grip of corona infection in the second wave.
