BERLIN—As U.S. authorities debate whether to keep schools open, a consensus is emerging in Europe that children are a considerable factor in the spread of Covid-19—and more countries are shutting schools for the first time since the spring.
Closures have been announced recently in the U.K., Germany, Ireland, Austria, Denmark and the Netherlands on concerns aboutfirst detected in the U.K. and rising case counts despite lockdowns. While the debate continues, recent studies and outbreaks show that schoolchildren, even younger ones, can play a significant role in spreading infections.
“In the second wave we acquired much more evidence that schoolchildren are almost equally, if not more infected by SARS-CoV-2 than others,“ said Antoine Flahault, director of the University of Geneva’s Institute of Global Health. Schools have represented one of the most contentious issues of the pandemic given the possible long-term impact of closures on children and the economic fallout from parents being forced to stay home.
Good evening Shuggieee
how is this news a year later?
Ask any parent. The kids trade germs and lice and bring it all home, regardless of whether they themselves have any effects. Keep them apart and you can slow it down. BUT, when you have a stubborn selfish society that refuses to care for others, that is futile.

No shit Sherlock!!!!
Another misleading fear driven study?
In Italy scientists say there is no problem with opening schools. Who has right?
Lol what a super smart Virus. Perhaps tell the truth now? Human error or intentional? Longer it goes on it's obvious.
Trump/Pence BetsyDeVosED ordered our schools to re-open, promising that the worst that would happen, a few kids would get sniffles. AmwayUS billionaire DeVos should be made to pay kids, who die from Coronavirus, 100% of their medical bill/funeral costs, hand dig their graves.
This is a surprise to anyone?
Trump hasn't been jailed yet?
Yet in Italy we are still going back to school 3 days a week. I'm in highschool btw
With that monitor, that guy productivity must be through the roof
SCIENCE!
That’s why you have them wear masks and space out the classroom.
Lol...no one knows anything about this virus. The stories change every day. Next the vaccine doesn’t work....just wait
Sorry but I live in Spain, in Spain this is not happening. I live in Valladolid, the information is totally in opposite to this WSJ headline. At school, wear face mask full time, school rooms frequently ventilated, but schools are not a problem in virus spreading across EU.
What being done to children over this is absolutely criminal. Vaccinate the teachers and let these kids live normal lives!!

madblackmother Well, they usually do!! As soon as they’re back at school in September, home come the colds with them. Now it’s covid19. Not really any surprise there! But good to know officially.

Well, no shit. Now do a story about how American children are doing the same. What is wrong with you? Of course children spread disease.
We have had school all year long and not one case of the virus being spread.
WAKE UP this is absolutely mind blowing, check what the vaccine did to brant's griner mom...check brant griner on facebook, his post has been shared more than 140000 times bcs his mom had very very severe reaction..please research before it's too late..share,share,share!!!
Swiss and German schools are open and as far as I know french schools,too.....
Children are people. This discovery took months to reveal
Kept them open just long enough to bait the host 😉⚔️
It is Early Sunday morning before the next Wednesday at noon. I have NEVER counted the hours,minutes ,seconds until January 20 of an inauguration year. Orange 🍊 dude 45. Dude can go WHEREVER....JUST GO!
In American we never close our school. This is human rights, and our children never spread virus like EU children do.

They had to study the obvious....it sucks, but this is the given situation.
That’s right keep your children safe
We are hell bent on raising a generation that has a ingrained fear of social interaction. That cannot be a good thing.
Oh really? Who could have imagined?!?! 🤔🤔
Except in France ☠️
sliccardo
thank u for finding this finely
NYGovCuomo I mean COME ON ALREADY!! PatMedSchools have at least 5-15 positive cases of kids plus staff a DAY! 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️😔🤔
PatMedSchools please read!!! 👀👀👀👀
No-one knows anything worthwhile about transmission of Covid. All the researchers do is meta-analyses of old *Chinese* research. Yet easy to do. So why not?
Would have been better to mention this and the other study which says the opposite
Wishful thinking is not science. “Wanting” the schools to open doesn’t mean they should. Nothing has changed about the virus- other than rates of infection continue to rise. There’s no question- to fight the spread of COVID19 we need to KeepSchoolsClosed StayHome

.chicagosmayor ICYMI COVID19 spreads between children.
Just after many US schools have reopened because keeping schools open in Europe was so successful🤔.
Duke and UNC just published a study in the American Academy of Pediatrics that proved the opposite.

It took a study to show that schoolchildren spread infections? Have they never been to a school?
Studies don't say anything about how contagious children are to adults.

Good thing American schoolchildren can’t spread the Covid.

Duh
Seems to be working in Miami 🤷♀️
GovKemp SuptWoods this is scary & extremely worrisome
Whoops
Follow non-fake news unlike wsj
It's almost as if everyone just assumed kids weren't humans, therefore not susceptible to infection? A year in and this is now news?
God you guys did not know that before?
No wonder... I’d never expect kids not to be careful with their hygiene and social distance; and then being hugged by adults when back at home.
apsmunro what do we have to make of this?
oh wow so glad we waited months for scientists to tell us what common sense already knew
