cord-264515-nle4axad	Vlachos, J.	School closures and SARS-CoV-2. Evidence from Sweden's partial school closure	2020-10-14		.txt	text/plain	7580	407	56	To study the broad impact of school closures on the transmission of the virus, we estimate differences in infection rates between parents exposed to lower and upper secondary students. We estimate differences in infections among parents, teachers, and teachers' partners who were differently exposed to lower (open) and upper (online) secondary schools using linear probability models (OLS) and logistic regressions. We find that parental exposure to open rather than closed schools is associated with a somewhat higher rate of PCR-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infections The positive association for PCR-confirmed cases could partly reflect other behavioral differences between households with slightly younger and older children, but if treated as a causal the estimates indicate that a hypothetical closure of lower secondary schools in Sweden would have resulted in 341 fewer detected cases among the 312 575 parents in our sample.	./cache/cord-264515-nle4axad.txt	./txt/cord-264515-nle4axad.txt
