Abstrakt: We show that school closures reduced COVID-19 incidence rates in children by 31%–46% in Hong Kong in 2022. After school reopening accompanied by mask mandates, daily rapid testing, and vaccination requirements, school-reported cases correlated with community incidence rates. Safe school reopening is possible when appropriate preventive measures are used. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
