Students wearing mask for protect corona virus or covid-19 and doing exam in classroom with stress.
The debate about re-opening schools has been a hot topic on the Lakeshore throughout the pandemic, with both sides adamant that they are correct. A study out of Mississippi suggests that there may be a correct answer.
The study, which was put on by numerous doctors with the University of Mississippi Medical Center and the CDC, indicated that children are more likely to be infected with COVID-19 by a family member than they are in school.
The reason for this result is twofold.
First, most if not all people do not take the same precautions at home as they do in public, therefore a lot of the time, if one family member catches the virus, the whole family will become infected.
Second, children reportedly have a lower rate of infection and transmission.
They go on to say that children are more likely to catch the virus at a family function than they are at school. That is the same with adults in the household as well.
