BACKGROUND
During the first SARS-CoV-2 pandemic phase, the sudden closure of schools was one of the main measures to minimize the spread of the virus. In the second phase, several safety procedures were implemented to avoid school closure. To evaluate if the school is a safe place, students and staff of two school complexes of Rome were monitored to evaluate the efficacy of prevention measures inside the school buildings.
METHODS
Oral secretions specimens were collected from 1262 subjects for a total of 3431 samples, collected over a 3 months period. Detection of Coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 was performed by real-time PCR. Target genes were represented by E gene, RdRP/S gene and N gene.
RESULTS
Among the 3431 samples analyzed, just 16 sample resulted as positive or low positive: 1 sample in the first month, 12 samples in the second month and 3 in the third month. In each period of evaluation, all positive children attended different classes.
CONCLUSIONS
Even if the school has the potential for spreading viruses, our preliminary results show the efficacy of the implementations undertaken in this setting to minimize virus diffusion. Our evidence suggests that school does not act as an amplifier for transmission of SARS-CoV-2 and can be really considered a safe place for students.
背景
在首次 SARS-CoV-2 大流行期间，学校的突然关闭是最大限度减少病毒传播的主要措施之一。在第二阶段，实施了多项安全措施以避免学校关闭。为了评估学校是否是安全的场所，对罗马的两个学校建筑群的学生和教职员工进行了监测，以评估学校内预防措施的效果。
方法
在三个月的时间内，共采集了 1262 名受试者的口腔分泌物样本，共计 3431 份。通过实时 PCR 检测冠状病毒 SARS-CoV-2。靶基因由 E 基因、RdRP/S 基因和 N 基因表示。
结果
在分析的 3431 个样本中，只有 16 个样本呈阳性或低阳性：1 个样本在第一个月，12 个样本在第二个月，3 个样本在第三个月。在每个评估期间，所有阳性儿童都上不同的课。
结论
即使学校有传播病毒的潜力，我们的初步结果表明，在这种环境下采取的措施对于最大限度地减少病毒扩散是有效的。我们的证据表明，学校不会成为 SARS-CoV-2 传播的放大器，并且可以真正被视为学生的安全场所。
