Corona: 8,000 Children Tested Positive in Maharashtra

While Maharashtra tackles the second wave of corona, the Uddhav Thackeray-led administration is also working to reduce the effects of a probable third wave, especially after nearly 8,000 youngsters contracted coronavirus in Maharashtra’s Ahmednagar district.

A special covid-19 ward for children is being planned, according to sources. Authorities are developing plans to ensure that children do not feel as if they are in a hospital but rather as if they are at a school or nursery.
