About

The investigators hypothesize that children are less likely to become infected in the school environment, compared to the household or outside the school setting. Primary schools do not play a major role in SARS-CoV-2 spreading. They hypothesize that incidence level in schools is mainly a consequence of community transmission. The incidence level in household and that the secondary attack rate in schools remains at least 5 times lower that the transmission level in households.
