The impact of school reopening on the spread of COVID-19 in England	2020-06-05		.txt	text/plain	7912	421	56	Findings: Whilst reopening schools, in any form, results in more mixing between children, an increase in R and hence transmission of the disease, the magnitude of that increase can be low dependent upon the age-groups that return to school and the behaviour of the remaining population. Given that older children have a greater number of social contacts and hence a greater potential for transmission, our findings suggest reopening secondary schools results in larger increases in case burden than only reopening primary schools; reopening both generates the largest increase and could push R above one in some regions. We also considered the 275 sensitivity of reopening schools to other potential changes in population mixing patterns (and hence 276 different values of R) driven by other changes to the lockdown since 13th May. In each scenario, reopening schools increased the absolute number of cases, ICU admissions and deaths 278 as a result of increased transmission (Fig. 4) .	./cache/cord-339164-xhyqg5u2.txt	./txt/cord-339164-xhyqg5u2.txt
