Confined students from 3 to 5 years of a school in Elda (Alicante) by "an outbreak of coronavirus with high transmission"
About 200 students in the 3, 4 and 5-year-old classrooms of the
Santa María del Carmen
de Las Carmelitas de Elda (Alicante)
concerted school
are confined by a
coronavirus
outbreak
"with high transmission" detected in the center, as confirmed knowledgeable sources.
The situation originated last week after confirming the positive of a teacher who teaches children's classes.
After conducting the PCR tests, several students in the 3- and 4-year-old classrooms also tested positive, forcing the center to confine two of the nine classrooms to prevent the spread of the
coronavirus
among the students.
However, the center has confirmed the confinement of almost 200 students in total after yesterday more infections were reported among infant schoolchildren, so, in application of the protocol, all members of the nine classrooms must be quarantined until next Tuesday, February 23, as detailed by the same sources.
06.59 .. UK will carry out the world's first trial infecting healthy people with coronavirus
The United Kingdom will carry out the world's first controlled human infection trial of the
coronavirus
, in which healthy people will be infected with the virus to study the effectiveness of
vaccines
and treatments against the disease.
The study, which has obtained ethical approval, will begin "in the next few weeks" and it will involve 90 "carefully chosen" healthy volunteers with ages ranging from 18 to 30 years.
They will be exposed to the
coronavirus
in a controlled and safe environment, while health professionals will monitor their health.
Among other things, the research will help scientists understand what viral load is necessary to cause an infection and how the immune system reacts to
SARS-CoV-2
.
In addition, it will give health professionals a better understanding of
Covid-19
, the disease caused by the virus, which will lead to the development of more vaccines and treatments.
