A new claim has been made about the new virus emerging in the UK. Professor of the advisory group (NERVTAG), which advises the UK government on respiratory diseases. Dr. Neil Ferguson suggested that children may be at higher risk of becoming infected with the variant coronavirus.
Neil Ferguson, professor of epidemiology at Imperial College London, said there was a clue that the children were less resistant to the mutated virus.
Ferguson, who he referred to as ‘Professor Quarantine’ because he was effective at the restrictions in March in the UK, left the SAGA team that provided emergency advice when it was revealed that he had violated the precautionary manual he had helped create.
Prof. Dr. Ferguson, B.1.1.7. He stated that this new variant of the coronavirus, known as the rise in November, during quarantine when schools are open, may be because this species affects children more.
The claim that it can have a huge impact on children.
Neil Ferguson also claimed that there is not enough evidence to prove the latest theory that children are more open to this variant of the coronavirus, stating that this is a prominent hypothesis.
According to the British newspaper Daily Mail report; Prof. Ferguson found that the number of cases of the mutated strain under the age of 15 was statistically much higher than for any other species.
“There is an indication that there is a greater propensity to infect children. This perhaps explains some of the differences, but we did not reveal any evidence of causality,” said the British expert.
Prof. Dr. Ferguson added that if this hypothesis is shown to be correct, the increased spread of the virus can be explained to a great extent.
