The Effectiveness of School Closures and Other Pre-Lockdown COVID-19 Mitigation Strategies in Argentina, Italy, and South Korea

Abstract: The rapid spread of COVID-19 forced policy-makers to swiftly find solutions to reduce infection rates and keep mortality as low as possible. Empirical analyses on the effectiveness of control measures are hereby of primary importance. School closures were among the earliest measures enacted by the governments of most countries. However, while schools are now reopening in many countries, the impact of school closures on the course of the epidemic is still an open question. Adopting parametric and non-parametric… Show more

“…Six studies specifically sought to estimate an effect of school closures on SARS-CoV-2 transmission. [13][14][15]17,18,21 The remaining four studies primarily sought to estimate the effect of NPIs (but reported an independent estimate for school closures within their analysis) . 16,19,20,22 Several analytic approaches were used, including: various types of regression models (n-7), 13,14,[16][17][18][19][20]22 time series analysis with Bayesian inference (n=1), 15 comparison to a synthetic control group derived from data from comparable countries (n=1), 18 and presentation of an epidemic curve 21 .…”
