This project will create new knowledge and tools to help schools deal with the practical challenges of preventing and coping with an outbreak of COVID-19. The project will test for infection in the school environment and test whether staff and pupils have current or past COVID-19 infection, over a 6-month period. We will test 4000 pupils and 100 staff members monthly. Any positive case identified as part of this study or reported within the city during the study period will be followed up to establish whether the household concerned is connected to a school (via a pupil or member of school staff). If so, we will test the members of the household weekly for 4 weeks to improve our understanding of infection transmission in this setting. We will use staff and pupil postcodes to identify the areas of the city with most infection, so that they can be given targeted support for infection control. We will improve systems for rapid and effective contact tracing, using digital support. We will work with staff, pupils and parents to adapt and use the 'Germ Defence' app to help everyone improve their infection control at school and outside school. Finally, we will assess the impact of returning to school on pupil and staff mental wellbeing, and their attitudes to this project. We will explore what schools are doing to support pupils experiencing difficulties, and assess which activities are most helpful. Our project builds on our team's wide range of very relevant research expertise and a well-established, strong partnership between the University of Bristol and Bristol City Council, Public Health England, local schools and other city stakeholders.

该项目将创造新的知识和工具，帮助学校应对预防和应对COVID-19爆发的实际挑战。该项目将在6个月的时间内测试学校环境中的感染情况，并测试教职员工和学生是否有当前或过去的COVID-19感染。我们将每月测试4000名学生和100名工作人员。将跟踪作为这项研究的一部分确定的或研究期间在该市报告的任何阳性病例，以确定有关家庭是否与学校有联系（通过学生或学校工作人员）。如果是这样，我们将每周对家庭成员进行测试，持续4周，以提高我们对这种情况下感染传播的理解。我们将使用工作人员和学生的邮政编码来确定城市中感染最多的地区，以便他们能够有针对性地支持感染控制。我们将利用数字支持，改进快速和有效追踪接触者的系统。我们将与工作人员，学生和家长合作，适应和使用“细菌防御”应用程序，以帮助每个人改善他们在学校和校外的感染控制。最后，我们将评估返回学校对学生和工作人员的心理健康的影响，以及他们对这个项目的态度。我们将探讨学校正在做什么来支持遇到困难的学生，并评估哪些活动最有帮助。 我们的项目建立在我们的团队的广泛的非常相关的研究专业知识和布里斯托和布里斯托市理事会，公共卫生英格兰，当地学校和其他城市利益相关者之间建立了良好的，强大的合作伙伴关系。
