As virus cases surge, more children are testing positive for Covid-19

Children usually respond to regular medications, but rush them to hospital if symptoms, which resemble those of a typical viral infection, continue or fever does not come down, doctors say.

Last week, two infants—one two months old and the other six months old who were taken to Om Hospital and Research Centre in Kathmandu, tested positive for Covid-19. Doctors had recommended a coronavirus test for those infants, as their mothers had tested positive.
