As COVID-19 cases in Taiwan doubled recently, including severe cases in infants and elderly, approximately 5-10% of children are hospitalized due to complications like pneumonia or dehydration. Urging the public to prepare prevention supplies and get vaccinated, health experts predict the current surge, with 623 new local cases reported last week, may peak around August to September. Cases like a 3-month-old baby in southern Taiwan showing COVID symptoms illustrate the crisis. NTU Hospital pediatric specialist warns parents to watch out for symptoms like hoarseness, cough, breathing difficulties, and dehydration, emphasizing timely medical attention when necessary.
