Britain risks a second wave of COVID-19 this winter twice as large as the initial outbreak if it reopens schools full-time without improving its test-and-trace system, according to a study published on Tuesday.

Researchers from University College London and the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine modelled the impact of reopening schools, combined with continuing to gradually ease social-distancing measures, under a range of scenarios. If levels of diagnoses and contact tracing were below those identified by the modelling while schools were open full-time, the study said, the virus’s effective reproduction number, known as R, would rise above 1, triggering a second wave.
