The partial reopening of Danish schools did not cause an increase in the number of children infected with the coronavirus, said today an expert in epidemiology and prevention of infectious diseases from the Danish Serum Institute, citing new data, reports Hina.
Denmark was one of the first countries to reopen its societies on April 15, after a month of quarantine, allowing students up to fifth grade to return to school.
"You can't see the negative effects of reopening schools," Peter Andersen said, referring to data updated on Wednesday.
The latest data do not show a significant increase in infections among children between the ages of 1 and 19 in the weeks following the partial reopening of schools.
"Based on the preliminary experiences we've had, the reopening plan is reasonable," Andersen added.
