Pediatric Grand Rounds: Using COVID-19 Epidemiology to Understand When and How to Return to School

Monday, June 8, 2020, 12:00 AM - Wednesday, June 8, 2022, 12:00 AM

Internet Enduring Material sponsored by the Stanford University School of Medicine. Presented by the Department of Pediatrics at the Stanford University School of Medicine. 

The SARS-CoV2 virus and related COVID-19 pandemic have resulted in shutdown of schools and workplaces throughout the world.  As the pandemic evolves and states and cities work to return to normal activities, guidance on how to safely open schools and keep them open and effective is not clear.  Infection and disease characteristics among children are still unclear, as is the risk of potential asymptomatic transmission from children to adults.  The extent of disease manifestations among children are also not well known.  However, fundamental adherence to public health practices designed to mitigate infection are reasonably well-known and can be implemented both in school and the workplace.  We will review what is known and where we still have knowledge gaps as we return to work and school.
