Dr. Deepal Perera, a pediatrician at the Ridgeway Children’s Hospital in Colombo, said that a program has been launched to treat children infected with Kovid at home if they do not have severe symptoms.
If there is no severe fever, the children should be treated at home and given as much liquid food as possible and they need rest, said Dr. Deepal Perera.
