An Examination of School Reopening Strategies during the SARS-CoV-2 Pandemic	2020-08-06		.txt	text/plain	6144	360	54	Using a stratified Susceptible-Exposed-Infected-Removed model, we explore the influences of reduced class density, transmission mitigation (such as the use of masks, desk shields, frequent surface cleaning, or outdoor instruction), and viral detection on cumulative prevalence. Given transmission of SARS-CoV-2 occurs through respiratory droplets, any reopening policy must adequately reduce crowded environments at school to protect children, teachers, staff, and ultimately communities. A recent study on the effects of school closure in March in the U.S. suggests that it reduced COVID-19 cases in states with low cumulative incidence [2] , yet education researchers worry that teachers will face lagging educational development of children once schools reopen due to the extended period of remote learning [11] . Our simulations with a single cohort indicate that a 5% percent threshold policy can shift infections in children from 80% to 55% over a 6 month period when child-to-child transmission rates in school are high ( Figure 3C ).	./cache/cord-332404-va3rxy5p.txt	./txt/cord-332404-va3rxy5p.txt
