In-person schooling and COVID-19 transmission- A Review of the Evidence

Description

The brief is based on a review of twenty publications: reviews
of literature, national surveillance studies of re-opened schools,
ecological studies, transmission modeling simulation studies and
case tracing studies. The authors include government agencies,
academic researchers and independent research organizations.
Most sources are focused on high-inconk countries. The preliminary
findings thus far’ suggest that in-person schooling – especially when
coupled with preventive and control measures – had lower secondary
COVID-19 transmission rates compared to other settings and do
not seem to have significantly contributed to the overall community
transmission risks.
