Abstract

PEREZ GAXIOLA, Giordano  and  MARTINEZ RUBIO, Victoria. Keep schools open does not appear to increase COVID-19 incidence in children. Rev Pediatr Aten Primaria [online]. 2021, vol.23, n.90, pp.207-209.  Epub May 09, 2022. ISSN 1139-7632.

Authors' conclusions:

school closure did not have a measurable effect on the number of COVID-19 cases among children. Children were not a significant risk group for COVID-19 and they do not appear to play a very important role from the point of view of disease transmission.

Reviewers' commentary:

despite its limitations, the results are consistent with most studies that examine the transmissibility of SARS-CoV-2 infection among children, and among children and teachers, demonstrating that school closure has little impact on the number of cases in the pediatric population and mortality from COVID-19.

Keywords : COVID-19; SARS-CoV-2; Schools.
