White House health adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci said in an interview on Wednesday: It has been proven that children between the ages of 10 and 19 can transmit the virus to others just like adults, and said that this should be considered when deciding whether to reopen schools in the fall. South Korea also recently published a study showing that although children under 9 years of age are less likely to transmit the virus to others than adults, teenagers are at least as likely to transmit the virus to others as adults.
On the other hand, Fauci also said that "closing" students at home may indeed bring some negative effects: Many people need to rely on the reopening of schools to maintain their lives, and districts should try their best to reopen. However, the main consideration should be the health and safety of students, teachers and their families. Areas with more severe epidemics may need to consider revising their reopening plans, such as moving some courses outdoors and adopting a hybrid method of online and offline teaching. source
