The sixth wave of the COVID-19 pandemic is showing a rapid spread, with a significant increase in cases of young children with severe symptoms, indicating widespread 'family infections'. Health experts emphasize the fast transmission of this wave, resulting in high numbers of household contacts contracting the virus, including infants under three months old. Vigilance in vaccination, hand hygiene, and mask-wearing remains crucial to prevent infections, as well as avoiding close and prolonged contact with infected individuals due to increased risk of exposure to multiple strains of the virus. It's highlighted that children are also at risk, with cases of complications like encephalitis reported in pediatric departments, stressing the continued importance of prevention measures.
