70% minors have developed sero-immunity in Goa: Official

Seventy per cent minors in Goa have already developed sero-positivity and the coastal state is 90 per cent ready to tackle the third wave, should it strike the state, head of the Goa government’s expert committee and dean of the state’s apex government hospital Dr. Shivanand Bandekar said on Thursday.”Our preparation for the third wave is at almost 90 per cent. The paediatric ICU is ready. Right now the situation is static,” said Bandekar, the dean of the Goa Medical College.”As per the statistics available with us, we have seen that seropositivity among the children is already at 70 per cent. That means 70 per cent of children have already got infected and they have been cured. This is a small sample, but it gives you an indication that if the third wave comes at all, it won’t be as large as the second wave,” he also said.
