According to her, one child is not yet two years old, and the other is a baby born 14 days ago.
In total, there are 78 people with a confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19, including 5 children, and 29 people suspected of having the disease, including 22 children, in the capital’s healthcare institutions.
Valentyna Ginzburg noted that on the example of the specialized infectious diseases children’s medical institution of the capital, it is possible to draw certain conclusions about the tendency to increase cases of severe forms of coronavirus infection among the children’s population.
“If in the first 4 months of 2022, only a few children with COVID-19 were in hospital treatment, and no children were admitted to the intensive care unit at all, then in July the doctors of the intensive care unit cured two children of the disease and now they are saving two more. This clearly indicates that COVID in its most severe course is returning. It is coming back quickly and aggressively, not sparing the most vulnerable – the youngest,” said Valentyna Ginzburg.
The director of the Department emphasized: all citizens should remember that you can get infected anywhere. So when it comes to children who cannot yet be vaccinated due to their age, the main task of parents is to strictly follow the rules of epidemic safety.
