Romanian doctor, incendiary statement. “For now, we should avoid kissing our children or grandchildren.”
Well-known pediatrician Mihai Craiu from the National Institute for Maternal and Child Health drew attention to the fact that, according to international studies, the risk of illness of a child in the family is 8 times higher than in the case of organized communities where they are respected protection measures.
He stated for Medica TV that, recently, there has been an increase in the number of patients infected with the new coronavirus who are hospitalized and among children throughout the country. This increase is due to the way he socialized during the winter holidays.
“Between 5 and 10% of new daily cases of infection with the new coronavirus are recorded among children. There has been a slight increase in the number of cases that reach the hospital in the last period, but the rate of illnesses remains, in general, within the limits that existed previously “, said Dr. Mihai Craiu.
Romanian doctor, incendiary statement. “For now, we should avoid kissing our children or grandchildren.”
He also said that a preventive measure against covid, no matter how radical it may sound, would be to avoid moments of tenderness in the family. Dr. Mihai Craiu is of the opinion that parents and grandparents should avoid kissing their children.
“It’s a gesture that is part of our humanity, that’s how we express our affection. But unfortunately this gesture is not recommended now. We will be able to safely kiss our children and grandchildren when we have two doses of vaccine. He doesn’t want me to be misunderstood. What I mean is an exhortation to responsibility.
As long as most of those infected have no symptoms, and the proportion varies between 25-40 percent of those infected who do not develop symptoms and, in good faith, kiss their children, grandchildren. For now, we should avoid touching with saliva parts of the child’s body, which could reach the eyes, nose and mouth, “said Dr. Mihai Craiu.
