|

Of the many studies, one study from University of Tennessee, Knoxville released a few weeks ago is most convincing. The researchers studied two schools during the fall of 2020 in the Southeast US, following cases closely and doing regular testing. Of the 3,500 students and staff followed 137 cases where identified and when detailed tracing was done 91% were not related with school-based transmission. Also, no transmission occurred from student to staff. In addition they found highest positive COVID-19 infection cases after school breaks and vacations.
