Conducted between August 1 and August 7, the survey, second in the city, showed that 29.1 percent of the population in the national capital has now developed antibodies against SARS CoV-2. As many as 15,000 people from four age groups participated in the survey -- around 25 percent of them below 18, 50 percent between 18 and 50, and the rest aged above 50. A prevalence rate of 34.7 percent was found among the participants aged between 5 and 17, the survey results show. As many as 31.2 percent of the people aged above 50 have recovered from COVID-19, it shows. Among those in the 18-50 age group, 28.5 percent people have developed antibodies against the virus. Indian Council of Medical Research data suggests that people aged between 21 and 50 account for 61.31 per cent of the COVID-19 cases recorded in India till August 21. Experts say children could be contracting the infection from adults in their family and domestic helps. Dr Mahesh Verma, the head of a Delhi government committee tasked with strengthening the preparedness of hospitals to battle coronavirus, said, "It is difficult to keep children and youngsters home-bound. Even if they are not going to school, they might be going out to play... or they might have contracted it through an indirect route. But it's just a prediction and needs to be studied." "It's still very complex how people are getting infected. I know a couple of families that are not stepping out but their members have still contracted COVID-19," he added. Dr Gauri Aggarwal, the founder of Seeds of Innocence and Genestrings Lab, New Friends Colony, said, "Children might have contracted the virus from someone in their house who was regularly stepping out. The schools are closed and there are very few people who are organizing gatherings where children are also present." It is possible that they got infected while going to parks or through domestic helps. There are lots of cases where domestic helps have spread the infection, she said.

Minors, between 5 and 17 years, are most exposed to coronavirus in Delhi: Sero Survey

A coronavirus positive woman has given birth to a baby at the AIIMS here, official sources said, adding that the baby is "healthy and doing well as of now". Dr Neerja Bhatla, professor in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at AIIMS who led the team which carried out the delivery said the baby boy was born on Friday evening, a week early, through C-section and is doing fine so far. When asked if the baby's sample would be tested for COVID-19, she said, "We are going to monitor his condition and look out for symptoms. So far the baby is doing fine." According to doctors, this is the first baby to be born to a coronavirus infected woman in Delhi. The baby's mother who was nine-months pregnant had tested positive on Thursday after her husband, a senior resident doctor working in the department of physiology at AIIMS, was found to be infected with the virus. The doctor's brother has also tested positive for the respiratory infection. The baby is with his mother since he will need breastfeeding. So far, there is no proof that suggests that the virus can be transmitted through breastfeeding, another doctor said. The doctor said the mother is also fine and though she has tested positive for COVID-19, she is asymptomatic at present. The AIIMS has already prepared a protocol dedicated to the care of COVID-19 infected pregnant woman patients. According to WHO, women with COVID-19 can breastfeed if they wish to but should practice hygiene during the feeding, where a mask where available, wash hands before and after touching the baby and routinely clean and disinfect surfaces they have touched.

Coronavirus positive woman at AIIMS is the first to give birth to a healthy baby in Delhi

(Eds: Adding details) <keyword id="6358070" type="LOCATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="mumbai">Mumbai</keyword>, Mar 2 () Days after communal clashes in <keyword id="6358777" type="LOCATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="New-Delhi">New Delhi</keyword>, beverages major Coca-Cola Global Chairman James Quincey on Monday flagged the <keyword id="6368587" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="impact">impact</keyword> of the riots on businesses, hoping India resolves its issues in a "democratic" manner. Quincey, who also serves as the chief executive officer of the Atlanta, a US-headquartered company, underlined that it is India's democratic credentials that make his over 133-year-old company look at the country as a market with long-term potential. The comments, to a question on the impact of protests and riots on the beverages segment, days after communal clashes in New Delhi that left at least 42 dead, and after months of protests across the country against the government's move to amend citizenship rules. A recent report pegged the economic losses due to the New Delhi riots alone at Rs 25,000 crore. "If there are disruptions in the functioning of a society, there will be some degree of problems for all businesses. "India is a vibrant democracy and it needs to work out what is going on. It is hoped that things get worked out in an appropriate democratic manner," Quincey told reporters. When asked about the concerns of a consumption slowdown, Quincey said the company does not get affected too much over an uptick or a dip in sales for a particular quarter and is looking forward to a strong 2020 in India. Quincey said in 2019, India has become the fifth largest market for the company globally in terms of volumes and it is targeting to take it to the fourth position in the next five years. The company sold 1 billion case units in the country in 2019, attaining the milestone 21 years after its entry into the country, and the target is to double the volumes to 2 billion case units in the next five years, he said. The aim is to ensure India becomes the third largest market in the world, Quincey said, without disclosing a timeline for the same. The company, which is under criticism for the high amount of sugar in its drinks, has been reducing the sugar content in Maaza and Thums Up for the last eight months, a company executive said. The target is to get the sugar content in the drinks to the 6 grams level, he said. Quincey said both India as well as global markets showed an increase in carbonated drinks which it calls as "sparkling beverages", including in domestic brands like Thums Up and Limca as well. It can be noted that multiple people have expressed concerns over the health impact of such drinks. In order to achieve its aim of doubling sales, the company will expand in the fruit segments, Quincey said adding that the ambitious target will involve new forays on the products, innovations and technology fronts. Currently, the company has tapped into four different fruits, with one each for the north, east, west and south regions, an executive said. The chief executive said the company is on track to complete the Rs 11,000-crore investment on the healthier fruit options announced in 2017 and should complete the same by the end of 2022. On plastic usage concerns, Quincey said the solution is ensuring that there is no wastage of the bottles and ensuring that all the bottles come back for recycling. He said that currently, 90 per cent of the plastic bottles are making their way to the recycling facilities and the target is to take the number to 100 per cent and also ensure that the recycled plastic is "food grade". Quincey added that the carbon footprint of the recycled PET (plastic) bottles is much lesser than a glass bottle as well. To a question on the impact of the <keyword id="1754604" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="coronavirus">coronavirus</keyword> epidemic, he said it does not see significant impact due to supply chain issues but hinted that it can get affected if the issues prolong. There is also resilience in the business because of its localised nature in every geography that it operates in. Quincey also denied reports of the company aiming to launch cannabis-infused drinks.
