When COVID-19 Attend Classes with Children: A Case Report

Transmission of SAR-CoV-2 among school children had previously been viewed as insignificant. As economies attempt to open with school children returning to study; reported cases of multiple diagnoses of COVID-19 challenge the previously held notion that school children might not be significantly impacted due to limited exposure routes in school. This study focused on a case of COVID-19 diagnosed in an 8-year-old school child. A previously well child turned symptomatic and positive to PCR test 3 days after testing negative. Transmission of SAR-CoV-2 among school children is a reality. In addition to other public health measures, vaccination of school children, teachers and visitors is necessary to mitigate the exposure.
