What Could Aggravate Children's Susceptibility to COVID-19

29 Oct 2021

The COVID-19 outbreak is one of the worst global risks that humanity has seen in the last century and is linked with various risk factors. This study is aimed at identifying the risk zones associated with COVID-19 specially for children under-five. These are associated with malnourished status, pre-existing morbidity conditions, poor household environmental conditions, case fatality rate (CFR) and active case rate (ACR) of COVID-19 in India. It uses data from the 4th round of the National Family Health Survey (NFHS)-4, 2015–16, and CFR and ACR of COVID-19 related data from the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW). The study concludes that strong public health measures need to be undertaken in regions vulnerable to COVID-19 to reduce the susceptibility of vulnerable children to this infection.  It is a useful study for program implementers.
