The Emerging Omicron Variant, Children and School

Jennifer   F.   Ha
Abstract

Many publications have demonstrated the detrimental effects of school closures on children, families and communities in the past two years of the COVID-19 pandemic. Currently, there is a surge of Omicron cases as children prepare to return to school around the world. While many children are asymptomatic or have mild disease, it is nevertheless an important problem. As we focus on vaccinations in the 5-12-year-old group, we should consider other risk mitigation factors to keep school open, and children safe.
Keywords: COVID 19, school, children, risk mitigation, management, mask, social distancing, vaccination
