Paper by Shamez Ladhani on prospective active national surveillance of preschools and primary schools for SARS-CoV-2 infection and transmission in England. This paper was available for participants to read at SAGE 53 on 27 August 2020, but not considered or discussed in the meeting.

It should be viewed in context: the paper was the best assessment of the evidence at the time of writing. The picture is developing rapidly and, as new evidence or data emerges, SAGE updates its advice accordingly.

Therefore, some of the information in this paper may have been superseded and the author’s opinion or conclusion may since have developed.

These documents are released as pre-print publications that have provided the government with rapid evidence during an emergency. These documents have not been peer-reviewed and there is no restriction on authors submitting and publishing this evidence in peer-reviewed journals.
