欧洲正在进行关于关闭学校以控制 COVID-19 大流行的激烈辩论。我们前瞻性地研究了 2020 年 8 月至 11 月期间挪威小学确诊儿科病例中 SARS-CoV-2 的传播情况。所有校内接触者在隔离期间都接受了两次系统检测。通过在学校实施预防措施，我们发现儿童到儿童（0.9%，2/234）和儿童到成人（1.7%，1/58）的传播率极低，这表明 14 岁以下儿童不是 SARS-CoV-2 传播的驱动因素。
An intense debate on school closures to control the COVID-19 pandemic is ongoing in Europe. We prospectively examined transmission of SARS-CoV-2 from confirmed paediatric cases in Norwegian primary schools between August and November 2020. All in-school contacts were systematically tested twice during their quarantine period. With preventive measures implemented in schools, we found minimal child-to-child (0.9%, 2/234) and child-to-adult (1.7%, 1/58) transmission, supporting that under 14 year olds are not the drivers of SARS-CoV-2 transmission.
