Groundbreaking study shows students rarely spread COVID, makes case for students returning to school
“Children act more as a brake on infection'
But according to a recent study in Germany — completed by the Medical Faculty of the TU Dresden and University Hospital Carl Gustav Caru — transmission of COVID-19 among younger people is rare.

CNBC:
In fact, the study found that schools do not become virus hotspots once they reopen. According to the study, "the dynamics of virus spreading have been overestimated," CNBC reported.
Prof. Reinhard Berner, the head of pediatric medicine at Dresden University Hospital and a leader of the study, said the study proves "the opposite" of the claim that schools could be super-spreaders of the virus.
"Children act more as a brake on infection," Berner said. "Not every infection that reaches them is passed on."
Researchers in Iceland and Europe have similarly concluded that children do not easily transmit COVID-19.
