Reopening Daycare Centers During the COVID-19 Pandemic

Based on the present knowledge of health professionals as of May 19, 2020 children get COVID-19 less frequently and less severely than adults, as such, daycares should be reopened. Especially for kids under the age of 10, current data shows a lower rate of transmission. Taking into account that there is a lack of evidence for the transmission of an infected child to an adult and that a large majority of infections in children are asymptomatic or minor, reopening daycare centers is possible without excessive restrictions.
