The impact of school closures on pandemic influenza:Assessing potential repercussions using a seasonal SIR model by Sherry Towers, Katia Vogt Geisse, Chia-Chun Tsai, Qing Han, Zhilan Feng

“…&nbsp; &nbsp We find that the effect on pandemic progression strongly depends on the timing of the start of the school closure.For instance, we determine that schoolclosures during a late spring wave of an epidemiccan cause a pandemic to become up to 20% larger, but have the advantage that theaverage time of the peak is shifted by up to two months, possibly allowing enough time for development ofvaccines to mitigate the larger size of the epidemic.Our studies thus suggest that when heterogeneity intransmission is a significant factor, decisions of public health policy will be particularlyimportant as to how control measures such as school closures should be implemented.…”
