Abstract
We read with interest the recent rapid communication by Stein-Zamir et al. analysing a major outbreak in an Israeli high school, which has been attributed to crowded conditions in classrooms and exemption from wearing face masks We would like to share our perspective from Hong Kong, where cases among school-aged children have been reported but did not lead to school outbreaks.
