Gartner Research Institute has provided preliminary data from a study that found: Children of all ages become infected - and infectious • Concern: Opening education system will lead to an outbreak

Children of all ages are infected with Corona and infected with other children and adults in Corona, according to preliminary, informal and final data on the Gartner Research Institute in recent days. However, it should be noted that various studies conducted around the world have resulted in different, or at least inconclusive, issues.

The results of the test will be submitted tomorrow (Thursday) to the Ministry of Health, for the purpose of making decisions and recommendations on the gradual opening of schools and kindergartens in Israel. 

Health ministry officials said information from the Gartner Institute's new study suggests that the health ministry may advise the government not to open schools early next week, as this could result in a new and dangerous outbreak of the Corona in Israel. Another possibility is that the Ministry of Health will at least recommend doing so much more highly than the program offered by the Ministry of Education.

According to a senior Health Ministry source, from a preliminary scientific and medical analysis of the data collected at the institute, data are mounting that raise concern if schools and kindergartens soon open. The Gartner Institute's examination is carried out by the Gartner Institute for Biostatistics and Biomathematics, and is carried out by Dr. Amit Hupert. The Gartner Institute is a research body operating at Sheba Hospital in Tel Hashomer, and advises the Ministry of Health in the field of health policy.

A previous scientific and medical review recently published in Israel by senior researchers from the Hebrew University of Hadassah stated a week ago that "Kindergarten and children's schools must surely be opened and carefully integrated with a range of social remedies, and perhaps with additional measures taken in the first period, such as routine measurement. During the school day, learning shifts, classroom splits, and strict hygiene ... changes will also be required in school staff behavior, and school opening should begin in non-outbreak areas and be accompanied by rigorous monitoring of parent and teacher child morbidity. B No grandchildren and grandparents will remain in the eye because of the high risk that characterizes older age. "
