?In the first wave, adults were the most infected. In the second wave, there was a slight change in virus behaviour ? young adults and some children were infected, though the intensity was less. This was a new development or trend which came to our notice. Anticipating the challenge in the third wave, we are going to set up a first-of-its-kind dedicated paediatric facility. It is expected to be ready by July.?

He said, ?Soon, we will have a meeting with leading paediatricians and members of the state Covid task force to take their suggestions on this facility.?

Last week, Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray had instructed state officials to prepare paediatric wards emphasising that the third wave is likely to infect more children. The BMC data from February to April has also shown that Covid infection was high among young adults and children in the second wave compared to the first wave.
