From 0 to 20 years of age bracket has 18.5% cases and above 60-years has 9.4% coronavirus cases in the state. The reason for less cases in 0 to 20 years and above 60 years is that children and elderly stay indoor, which is a good thing.
“Staying indoor is the best option for all. But as children and elderly have poor immunity they should stay indoor in particular,” said Dr Rama Srivastava, president IMA, Lucknow.
The state has till now reported 1084 cases till now of which 108 have been discharged. In all 17 patients have died during treatment. The state has 1050 patients in the isolation wards and 10234 in the medical quarantine facility.
