This is according to Wits professor of vaccinology, Shabir Madhi, who spoke at a webinar held by MYHealthLive on Friday, which discussed the impact of Covid-19.
When it comes to seasonal influenza, what’s beyond doubt is that children are an important factor in the transmission of the virus.Pointing to the latest studies coming from the Netherlands, China and Australia, Madhi said children younger than 18 were shown not to be spreaders of Covid-19 and that even if the index case in a household was a child, that child was not infecting adults around them.
Other studies showed a strong temporal association – including in South Africa – between the opening of schools after the winter break and an increased number of influenza cases.At the time the decision was taken to close schools, it was not known how Covid-19 would impact children or whether they would be important vectors in terms of disease transmission.
How sure are those researchers
Your child... not mine
Trying to justify why our children must return to school are you?
