Abstract in brief

  • Iceland confirmed its first COVID-19 cases at the end of February 2020, prompting targeted testing of individuals at high risk, including those showing symptoms, travelers to high-risk areas, and contacts of infected individuals.
  • A population screening was conducted with over 10,000 people invited, resulting in 1,221 confirmed cases of SARS-CoV-2, with varying positivity rates depending on the testing strategy used.
  • Data indicated that children under 10 were less likely to test positive than older individuals, with the overall positivity rates showing stability over a 20-day screening period.

5) This suggests IL-1β may be an important factor in the body's defense against the virus, regardless of the specific variant. The study also showed that in mice, IL-1β was able to significantly reduce the spread of SARS-CoV-2 in the lungs.

It was known by April 2020 - at the latest - that children were both low risk AND less likely to transmit Covid. Despite this, governments denied them their right to school on the pretext of protecting them and their teachers. https://t.co/TBcYjU5gFB https://t.co/lFUACMAwto https://t.co/Tmx59SXO39

There was also a natural experiment in Germany where schools in different regions closed due to different holiday schedules and it found keeping schools open led to fewer cases.

@AnnikaTyckerAtt @r_hellqvist För övrigt visades det ju tidigt i en välgjord studie från Island att barn främst smittades av vuxna, så vad svepande skolstängningar kunnat göra för nytta är långt ifrån självklart. https://t.co/I92ZsM5TtH

@Buz207 @anish_koka People say that, but Iceland did a very comprehensive study early on showing that it was very rare that kids infected parents - usually it was the other way around. https://t.co/I92ZsM5TtH

@StevenJayWright @schoppworld @realDonaldTrump I’ve read the Iceland study and sure enough- it comes to the same conclusion-10 and younger, little to no spread, 10 and over- similar spread to an adult. it does, at the very least, present a challenge in reopening schools. https://t.co/4shoaJnrqb

@michaelmina_lab How about referring to this NEJM article: "Of those tested in the general population, 87 (0.8%) in the open-invitation screening and 13 (0.6%) in the random-population screening tested positive for the virus. In total, 6% of the population was screened. " https://t.co/HSrk9UZ4Cp

https://t.co/BfWFHvEb2w "Thus, the frequency of the SARS-CoV-2 infection in the overall Icelandic population was stable from March 13 to April 1, a finding that appears to indicate that the containment measures had been working."
