Nine children are receiving treatment for COVID right now at Makario Children`s Hospital and Head of the Paediatric Ward says that this is the highest number of hospitalisations since the pandemic broke out. Dr. Avraam Elia called on parents once again to vaccinate their kids.
Dr. Elia told the Cyprus News Agency that the age of children who are receiving treatment ranges from one month to ten years old. Eight are under five.
