COVID-19 Supplement on School Re-Opening (1 of 3): Clinical Features and Transmission in Children

Abstract

As governments look beyond containment to reopening economies and easing lockdown measures, the topic of school re-opening has taken center-stage. This K2P Evidence Summary provides an overview of the clinical features and transmission of COVID-19 in children based on the latest research evidence, which can assist policy makers, public health officials and the public in better understanding the role of children in COVID-19 transmission given its policy implications in relation to reopening schools. It constitutes the first product (out of three) within the Supplement on School Reopening launched as part of the K2P COVID-19 Series.

Description

K2P Evidence summaries use global research evidence to provide insight on public health priority topics that are ambiguous and have important uncertainty. This document informs policymakers and other stakeholders by synthesizing the best available evidence and presenting its relevance to local contexts. Evidence summaries do not provide recommendations but rather articulate evidence in a clear, objective and factual manner.
Text in English, with some text in Arabic.
Includes bibliographical references (pages 26-28)
