He has urged the hospitals and concerned agencies and bodies to be alert and keep emergency and needed equipment including oxygen cylinders, beds, and medical staff in alert positions. Dr. Adhikari said that the third wave was riskier to children, therefore, ICU and emergency child wards should be upgraded and kept in a ready position realizing the possible outbreak threats.
