Asked about the return to face-to-face classes that the Government longs for with the beginning of the vaccination of education personnel, the Minister of Health Enrique Paris affirmed that “the children transmit the coronavirus very little “.
“There is no fear about that, but they do transmit influenza a lot “, said the head of the Minsal.
However, a study published January 18 in The Lancet found that children and adolescents are the most contagious of SARS-CoV-2 at home.
Along these lines, on Monday night, Paris made use of its official Twitter account to specify what he meant.
“My statements are in relation to what happens within educational establishments, which have health protocols, “he wrote.
“Inside the households presents a different situation, since the same prevention measures are not applied to (the) # covid19 ″, he added.

The study in question was conducted in Wuhan, the epicenter of the pandemic, for which 29,578 cases were analyzed present in 27,101 households, with a rate of secondary cases of 15.6%.
Finally, the researchers determined that children and adolescents under the age of 20 had a 58% more likely to infect other people than adults 60 years and older.
So far, the idea of going back to school has been severely criticized by the College of Teachers.
In the opinion of the magisterium, there is no possibility of returning to the classical mode, nor to the hybrid mode.
“March or April, I don’t see any possibility of going back to school with this hybrid system ”, the president of the College of Teachers, Carlos Díaz, told Radio Bío Bío on Monday.
“Perhaps the hybrid system could start in April, thinking that the country will be vaccinated at the end of June, therefore after that date the possibility of the face-to-face return opens up ”, he indicated.
