2/ They did weekly asymptomatic PCR testing here for 5 weeks
Limitations
-Community viral transmission at that time was also not very high
-Many of the activities here were done outdoors, where we know transmission risk is much lower

3/ "We observed a correspondence b/w the prevalence of infection per district & the number of new index-cases found in the same district. This finding supports that summer-schools did not act as super spreading hotspots, but rather reflected the underlying community transmission"
4/ In line with another recent study this week suggesting poor community control was a bigger risk to healthcare workers than the hospital itself, here too we see that good community control is probably important to control spread in schools (in addition to in-school measures)
