导言：学校开学对严重急性呼吸系统综合征冠状病毒2型（SARS-CoV-2）大流行的影响仍然未知。这项研究旨在提供有关意大利学校学生中SARS-CoV-2病例数量的初步信息。研究方法：数据是从一个开放获取的在线数据集中提取和分析的，该数据集每天监测有关意大利学校学生感染SARS-CoV-2的媒体新闻。结果如下：截至2020年10月5日，意大利境内学校共登记了1，350例SARS-CoV-2感染病例（涉及1，059名学生，145名教师和146名其他学校成员），涉及65，104所意大利学校中的1，212所（1.8%）。国立学校在超过90%的病例中仅报告了一例SARS-CoV-2感染，仅在一所高中描述了10例以上的病例（P = 0.015）。检测到一个或多个SARS-CoV-2感染导致192所学校（15.8%）关闭，更常见的是托儿所/幼儿园（P < 0.0005）。讨论：我们的初步数据支持SARS-CoV-2在学校内的低传播，至少在年轻学生中。然而，由于担心爆发更大规模的疫情，整个学校经常关闭。需要持续监测学校环境，希望通过每日更新的开放获取数据集，以更好地了解学校对大流行病的影响，并提供指导方针，更好地考虑不同年龄组的不同风险。
Introduction: The impact of school opening on the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic is still unknown. This study aims to provide preliminary information about the number of SARS-CoV-2 cases among students attending Italian schools. Methods: Data are extracted and analyzed from an open-access, online dataset that monitor, on a daily basis, media news about SARS-CoV-2 infections of students attending Italian schools. Results: As of October 5, 2020, a total of 1,350 cases of SARS-CoV-2 infections have been registered in the Italian territory schools (involving 1,059 students, 145 teachers, and 146 other school members), for a total of 1,212 out of 65,104 (1.8%) Italian schools involved. National schools reported only one case of SARS-CoV-2 infection in more than 90% of cases, and only in one high school a cluster of more than 10 cases has been described (P = 0.015). The detection of one or more SARS-CoV-2 infections led to the closure of 192 (15.8%) entire schools, more frequently nursery/kindergartens (P < 0.0005). Discussion: Our preliminary data support low transmission of SARS-CoV-2 within schools, at least among younger students. However, entire schools are frequently closed in the fear of larger outbreaks. Continuous monitoring of school settings, hopefully through daily updated open-access datasets, is needed to better understand the impact of schools on the pandemic and provide guidelines that better consider different risks within different age groups.
