Youth getting slightly more affected in Covid second wave as they might have begun going out: ICMR

In response to a question on whether the younger population were getting more affected, Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) Director-General Dr Balram Bhargava said the comparison of data during the first and the second wave of COVID-19 has shown that there is not much age difference.

“We have found that younger people are getting slightly more involved because suddenly they have gone out and there are variants also prevalent in the nation which may be affecting them as well," he said.
