Abstract:
We analyzed data from a serological study performed on 2,765 samples from the Israeli National Sera Bank (INSB), established in 1997 in the Israel Center for Disease Control (ICDC) collected from children aged 0- 〈 16 years during January 2020-March 2021. Trends in seropositivity rates to SARS-CoV-2 were evaluated using Joinpoint within specific age groups and compared to educational institutions activity. Seropositivity rates increased significantly in the 0- 〈 6 and 12- 〈 16 years age groups and were parallel in the 0- 〈 6 years age group and partially parallel in the 12- 〈 16 years to educational institutions activities. Non-significant increase in seropositivity rates were observed in the age groups 6- 〈 10 and 10- 〈 12 years. Apparently, exposure to SARS-CoV-2 in children was driven not only by educational activities but also by other factors.
