"Reopening of schools for all students in countries with low community transmission (Denmark and Norway) has not resulted in a significant increase in the growth rate of COVID-19 cases."
"Return of most students to school in countries with higher levels of community transmission (Germany) has been accompanied by increased transmission among students, but not school staff."
"After re-opening schools in Israel there have been a number of outbreaks of SARS-CoV-2 in schools that have resulted in those schools being closed. "
"In South Korea, schools in some areas were closed again after re-opening in response to surges in the number of COVID-19 cases in the community."
Schools are part of their community. Any re-opening comes with risk. We can choose to 'spend' that risk on schools/childcare.... or on bars, movie theatres and the like.
