The COVID diaries – 129 5th August
The Guardian newspaper has a concerning report from the United States:
“Coronavirus may be more easily transmitted in school and summer camp settings
than previously understood, after the emergence of new details of outbreaks in
the US state of Georgia and in Israel that have underscored the risks of school
reopenings.
“A report by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) into an outbreak at a summer camp in Georgia suggests children – even asymptomatic cases – may play an important role in community transmission of Covid-19.
“The claim contradicts a number of earlier studies where the consensus appeared to be that children rarely transmit the virus between themselves or to other people.”
