Goes inline with what the swedish authorities have been saying. There are no real good reasons that are evidenced based for closing down the schools for younger children. They are not driving the spread of the virus and its likely not worth the effects as then parents would need to be home with the children and cannot go to work (granted that is not much of an issue if you are allrdy at home anyways but hospital staff etc need to go still).

Cross post from the mums and dads thread:
A very good summary of all current research concerning Covid19 in children, from the RCPCH. With links to all underlying studies.

As we all ponder the reopening of schools, the section on transmission is of particular pertinence.
