J. D. Munday, K. Sherratt, et al.

In the wake of school closures due to the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, researchers explore the risks of reopening educational institutions. This critical study reveals that while selective reopening of certain year-groups poses minimal risk, reopening secondary schools without adequate measures could potentially affect millions of households. This important work highlights the need for strict monitoring and effective infection control within schools. This research was conducted by James D. Munday, Katharine Sherratt, Sophie Meakin, Akira Endo, and others.
