Abstract

In England, the easing of national lockdown in response to the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic included the reopening of some primary school years on June 1, 2020. National surveillance did not identify any increase in the year groups attending school. Most children had a severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 positive household contact. Hospitalizations for coronavirus disease 2019 were rare, but 2.7% (7/259) had persistent symptoms 1 month later.
