The Odisha Government will put out separate data of the daily Covid infection among the 0-18 age group on its Covid dashboard. This decision was made amid predictions of children who are likely to be affected during the possible third wave.
According to the official reports, the state government decision to segregate the data for its own understanding and also for greater public awareness comes in the wake of the second wave stretching too far.
The report further added that the segregated data will be generated to understand the severity with which the virus affects the below 18 years population. The data will also help the hospitals and health invigilators make interventional strategies.
