Modelling suggests limited change in the reproduction number from reopening Norwegian kindergartens and schools during the COVID-19 pandemic

Martin Rypdal et al.

Summary: The study aimed to model the effect of reopening kindergartens and schools in Norway in terms of a change in the reproduction number (R). It was found that reopening schools had limited effect on the reproduction number, and current R-estimates are insufficiently accurate for determining the transmission rates in schools. Planned interventions such as opening selected schools can be useful to infer general knowledge about children-to-children transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in countries that have closed schools.

COVID-19 transmission dynamics underlying epidemic waves in Kenya

Samuel P. C. Brand et al.

Summary: Policy decisions on COVID-19 interventions should take into account local, regional, and national understanding of SARS-CoV-2 transmission. Three epidemic waves have been observed in Kenya, with the first two attributed to differences in contact rates among high and low socioeconomic groups, and the third wave to the introduction of highly transmissible variants. Reopening of schools led to a slight increase in transmission between the second and third waves. Socioeconomic status and urban-rural population structure play critical roles in viral transmission in Kenya.

Model-based evaluation of school- and non-school-related measures to control the COVID-19 pandemic

Ganna Rozhnova et al.

Summary: The authors used an age-structured transmission model to assess the effects of school-based measures during the COVID-19 pandemic in the Netherlands, finding that reducing school-based contacts depends on the remaining opportunities to reduce non-school-based contacts while R-e is still close to 1.

Impacts of K-12 school reopening on the COVID-19 epidemic in Indiana, USA

Guido Espana et al.

Summary: The study found that the operating capacity and face-mask adherence in schools have a significant impact on the number of infections and deaths related to COVID-19. Remote operation of schools can significantly reduce the risk of epidemic spread, while high operating capacity and low face-mask adherence may lead to a surge in infections and deaths.

Overview of the characteristics of and responses to the three Paves of COVID-19 in ,Japan during 2020-2021

Kenji Karako et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 situation in Japan has experienced three waves, with the government successfully limiting the increase in infected numbers by reducing crowd activities and increasing inspections during the second wave. However, the third wave has lasted for over two months, surpassing previous peaks due to further policy implementations and relaxed immigration restrictions. The strain on medical facilities has prompted the declaration of another state of emergency, highlighting the urgent need for stronger measures and additional support in combating COVID-19.

Model-based projections for COVID-19 outbreak size and student-days lost to closure in Ontario childcare centres and primary schools

Brendon Phillips et al.

Summary: This study provides recommendations for safely reopening childcare centers and primary schools, including reducing class sizes and grouping siblings, which significantly reduces outbreak size and student-days lost. Each doubling of class size from 8 to 15 to 30 more than doubles the outbreak size and student-days lost in both childcare and primary school settings.

Shut and re-open: the role of schools in the spread of COVID-19 in Europe

Helena B. Stage et al.

Summary: School closures contribute to a reduction in growth rate of COVID-19 transmission approximately 7 days after implementation. In countries with generally low community transmission, large-scale school reopening while controlling the epidemic seems feasible. However, in countries with high community transmission like Germany, school reopening may lead to statistically significant increases in growth rate. Evaluation of reopening strategies should be cautious and consider the specific context of each region.

Estimating the effects of reopening of schools on the course of the epidemic of COVID-19

Eduardo Massad et al.

Summary: This study presents a method to estimate the risk of reopening schools, showing that reopening schools before the advent of a vaccine may lead to an increase in infection cases among teachers, school staff, and relatives, posing significant risks. It is therefore important to carefully consider the decision to reopen schools before the availability of a vaccine.
