'Respiratory ailment cases may be past the peak in Kol'

Hospitals across the city have started noticing a slight dip in ARI (acute respiratory infection) cases, which, experts say, could be an indication that it's past the peak. But doctors said it could take another fortnight for the pressure on hospitals, especially the paediatric intensive care units (PICU), to start easing out. Also, some more deaths are expected during this period as many kids with severe cases of infection, including adenovirus, are battling the infection.
