FLO & YFLO Delhi National Webinar : Demystifying & Decoding Covid

FLO & YFLO YFLO jointly organised a national webinar titled Demystifying & Decoding Covid on May 11, 2021.

As the pandemic continues to create uncertainty and anxiety, FLO believes that it is pertinent to make the best use of the collective expertise and knowledge to respond to the situation, being a part of the civil society and as a responsible organisation.

The objective was to provide an effective platform to get the right answers related with Covid, its causes & impact on our behaviour, emotional, mental, and physical wellbeing, and overall health. Moreover, the new development of Covid 2.0 impacting children and youth has been a matter of great concern, as very little information is available.

A panel of experts were invited to speak on various topics to help decode and demystify COVID.

Dr. Swapneil Parikh, Internal Medicine Specialist & Author, Mumbai gave an in-depth analysis on COVID 19 and highlighted some future predictions & precautions. Ms. Ishi Khosla, Nutritionist, Delhi spoke on a very pertinent topic in the current situation – Building Immunity with Food & Nutrition.

Dr. Amit Sen, Child & Adolescent Psychiatrist, Delhi spoke on Prioritising Child & Youth Mental Health during COVID and Dr. Sanjeev Bagai, (Padma Shri Awardee & Nephrologist) who spoke on Vaccination: The Ultimate Saviour
