While several medical health experts claimed that the Third Wave is likely to affect children, a recent serosurvey conducted by BMC, Nair Hospital, and Kasturba Hospital in Mumbai proves otherwise.

Barkha Dutt discusses the issue with Chandrakant Lahariya (Epidemiologist), Dr. Samir Dalwai (Maharashtra Covid Task Force), Dr. Jayanthi Shastri (Nair Hospital), and Dr. Gargi Kakani (Nair Hospital).
