What role do children play in the spread of coronavirus disease 2019 (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. Similarly, when children gather in places other than schools such asp laygrounds and parties, they play around and touch eachother. SInce they are not very conscious about hand hygiene therefore touching different surfaces and then touching eachother, eating a meal or touching their eyes, nose or mouth can easily transmit the virus in their body.
