Project manager expects an increasing number of unreported cases
The project manager at the Greifswald University Children’s Clinic, Almut Meyer-Bahlburg, concludes that there is a relatively low number of unreported cases. You expected a higher number. “I conclude from this that the hygiene measures have already taken effect,” said Meyer-Bahlburg. Homeschooling and the limited school and kindergarten operations apparently also had an effect. “Now you have to see what’s coming in autumn.” If the schools remain open, the senior doctor at the children’s clinic expects more positive samples.
Evaluation until spring
Since the end of last year, with the consent of their parents, the researchers have been testing blood samples for antibodies that were produced in examinations of children and adolescents up to the age of 17. To this end, Greifswald University Medicine has worked with hospitals in Pasewalk, Stralsund, Anklam, Demmin, Bergen and a practice in Greifswald. The study is to be continued until next spring.
