The report sought to answer whether children are more or less infected with adults and whether they are more or less infected. "The potential impact of opening the education system on the spread of the epidemic may be significant, but cannot be estimated at this time," Dr. R. Amit Huppert, Director of the Biostatistics and Bio Mathematics Unit at the Institute. The study encompassed close to 3,000 children and families of Barak's children and found that the odds of contracting children are less than 20-50 percent and that the child's chances of getting infected are 25-75 percent.

The report will be presented at an online meeting scheduled for 10 a.m. tomorrow. A Health Ministry official said earlier on returning to school that "schools should start (grades 1-3) and wait with the gardens for the next beat."

The study encompassed 562 families with 2,823 people, about a quarter of them aged 0 to 9 and about a quarter of 10-19. The data show that almost one-third of sick children (30-31 percent) do not show symptoms of the disease, which is more than double the rate among adults (13%).

Another finding was that the chances of children becoming ill increase with age, with the exception of the small group of infants (up to one year of age) who are more likely to become ill relative to the other children in the family. A possible explanation is that infants require close treatment / breastfeeding from their parents, so if the parents are ill, the chances of infants being greater are greater compared to the other children.
