Yes, closing schools and other educational institutes is effective to prevent the spread of COVID-19. School is a place where children gather in mass number. Since SARS-CoV-2 spreads via aerosol, it is easily transmitted from one student to another when coughing, sneezing and even breathing. Closing schools allow maintaining distance and thus preventing COVID-19.
