Abstract
Daily COVID-19 infection rates were examined before and after statewide school closure orders. Regression techniques were used to model changes in the number of confirmed cases and data was combined across states using meta analyses. School closures were found to have a significant impact on infection rates, and thus, may be considered a viable intervention to lower COVID-19 infection rates.
Keywords: Coronavirus; epidemiology; infection; non-pharmaceutical interventions; school closures.
