Experts have drawn into question whether schools should remain closed as the peak of the U.K. novel coronavirus pandemic is reached.
"We will re-open schools when the scientific advice indicates it is safe to do so."
"We are presenting a first, careful phase in the reopening of Denmark," Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen told a press conference. "We know from previous studies that school closures are likely to have the greatest effect if the virus has low transmissibility and attack rates are higher in children. This is the opposite of COVID-19," research leader Professor Russell Viner, of University College London Great Ormond Street Institute of Child Health, said on the research's release.
