• Preventing contact among children is a known prevention measure in influenza outbreaks and pandemics
• Universities and other educational institutions are also areas where large numbers of people
congregate in confined spaces
• In studies of influenza outbreaks, both measures usually have the biggest effect when applied early
in the transmission phase and when they last until the circulation of the pathogen decreases (i.e. after
several weeks)
• Need to also prevent meeting/gathering of youths outside school in order to ensure effectiveness
Observational and modelling evidence from past pandemics (e.g. influenza pandemics) and from the experiences with COVID-19 in China indicates that the early, decisive, rapid, coordinated and comprehensive implementation of social distancing measures are likely to be more effective in slowing the spread of the virus than delayed actions [6-8]: it is estimated that if a range of non-pharmaceutical interventions, including social distancing, had been conducted one week, two weeks, or three weeks earlier in China, the number of cases could have been reduced by 66%, 86%, and 95%, respectively, together with significantly reducing the number of affected areas
