An-Najah News - According to two recent studies, children are also able to transmit corona infection to others, which means that returning to school soon will be risky.

A team of researchers studied data from two cities in China, Wuhan, the epicenter of the disease outbreak, and Shanghai.

The results showed that the children were also exposed to the transmission of the Coronavirus, or to be infected with it similar to the adults, and this means that the closing of schools was a correct option despite the fact that the infection is not dangerous to the health of young people in most cases.

The researchers wrote that closing schools can reduce the spread of the pandemic by 40 to 60 percent, so the difference is not slight.

In a second study, German researchers tested children and adults who have coronavirus, and it was found that young people pass on infections like adults, or sometimes more.

One of the study's participants, Jeffrey Shaman, a researcher at Columbia University in New York, said that the results reached are not final, but he cautioned that it would be foolish for schools to be opened at the present time, because some scientific opinions that were not subject to investigation, claim Children do not transmit the Coronavirus.
