Transmission risk of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in schools is unknown. Our investigations, especially in preschools, could not detect SARS-CoV-2 transmission despite screening of symptomatic and asymptomatic children. The data suggest that children are not the primary drivers of SARS-CoV-2 transmission in schools and could help inform exit strategies for lifting of lockdowns.
学校中严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒 2(SARS-CoV-2)的传播风险尚不清楚。我们的调查,尤其是在幼儿园中的调查,尽管对有症状和无症状的儿童进行了筛查,但并未发现 SARS-CoV-2 的传播。这些数据表明,儿童并不是学校中 SARS-CoV-2 传播的主要驱动因素,这有助于为解除封锁制定退出策略提供信息。
