We investigated data from severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infected 0-19 year olds, who attended schools/childcare facilities, to assess their role in SARS-CoV-2 transmission after these establishments' reopening in May 2020 in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. Child-to-child transmission in schools/childcare facilities appeared very uncommon. We anticipate that, with face mask use and frequent ventilation of rooms, transmission rates in schools/childcare facilities would remain low in the next term, even if classes' group sizes were increased.
我们研究了德国巴登-符腾堡州 2020 年 5 月重新开放学校/日托机构后,感染严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒 2(SARS-CoV-2)的 0-19 岁儿童的数据,以评估他们在这些机构重新开放后在 SARS-CoV-2 传播中的作用。学校/日托机构中儿童之间的传播似乎非常罕见。我们预计,即使班级规模增加,只要使用口罩和经常通风,下一个学期学校/日托机构的传播率仍将保持较低水平。
