The risk of infection depended on how close the children were to the teacher. Eight out of ten students in the first two rows were infected.
In California, an unvaccinated teacher took off his mask in class, as a result of which he infected half of the class with the coronavirus. Subsequently, this led to a surge in the incidence of coronavirus at school. It is reported by Voice of America citing a study by the US Center for Disease Control.
Specialists of this department have carefully studied the reasons for the surge in the incidence of coronavirus in one of the schools in the state of California – just during the spread of the Delta strain.
“From May 23 to June 12, 2021, 26 laboratory-confirmed cases of COVID-19 infection were recorded in Marine County elementary school students in California and their families after contact with an unvaccinated infected teacher,” the report said.
It is noted that in one of the classes the infection rate was 50%, and the risk depended on how close the children sat to the teacher. Eight out of ten students in the first two rows were infected.
In this regard, the CDC recalls that vaccines effectively protect against the Delta strain, but the risk of transmission of coronavirus among unvaccinated individuals is increased.
To keep schooling safe, in addition to vaccinations, “it is important to carefully follow non-pharmaceutical prevention methods, including masking,” the epidemiologists emphasize.
Previously, scientists announced attack by the Delta strain of vaccinated… About 25% of cases of coronavirus infection among residents of Los Angeles County, where the Delta strain was recorded, occurred in fully vaccinated residents.
