Nous examinons les facteurs qui ont facilité ou empêché l’infection par le SRAS-CoV-2 dans les centres d’accueil de la petite enfance, et si ces facteurs diffèrent entre les différentes phases de la vague 4 (Delta) et de la vague 5 (Omicron).
During the five waves of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic so far, German early childhood education and care (ECEC) centres implemented various protective measures, such as wearing a face mask, fixed children-staff groups or regular ventilation. In addition, parents and ECEC staff were increasingly vaccinated throughout 2021. During the 4th wave, variant of concern (VOC) Delta-driven transmission indicators reached record values at the end of 2021. Those values were even exceeded in the 5th wave at the beginning of 2022 when Omicron dominated. We examine which factors facilitated or prevented infection with SARS-CoV-2 in ECEC centres, and if these differed between different phases within wave 4 (Delta) and 5 (Omicron).
