Schools reopening: Pupils can spread the virus MORE by wearing masks, SAGE expert warns

By CLAIRE ANDERSON
SCHOOL pupils could end up spreading coronavirus more if they wear face coverings in classrooms, SAGE member Professor Russell  Viner has warned.

Schools in England and Wales are getting ready to reopen next week as Prime Minister Boris Johnson has urged parents to send their children back to the classroom. Some schools have asked pupils to wear masks when walking around in school corridors. But SAGE member Professor Russell Viner has warned that wearing face coverings could increase the risk of coronavirus for young children.

Speaking to BBC Newsnight, Professor Viner said: "The evidence on masks is very unclear and I think that's in one sense potentially going beyond the evidence we have.

"There are lots of concerns about mask-wearing for children, particularly younger children because they touch their face, they're constantly worried about their mask, they actually could potentially spread the virus more.

"I think for young children we're very clear it's not a good idea.

"Teenagers again I think we don't have the evidence this is useful.

‘Pupils pose little risk of spreading Covid’

A study suggests there is little evidence the virus is transmitted at school, according to a scientist who backs reopening

 "One of the largest studies in the world on coronavirus in schools, carried out in 100 institutions in the UK, will confirm that “there is very little evidence that the virus is transmitted” there, according to a leading scientist.

Professor Russell Viner, president of the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health and a member of the government advisory group Sage, said: “A new study that has been done in UK schools confirms there is very little evidence that the virus is transmitted in schools".
