P values are for χ2 test. Data are sourced from the report into coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) in Victorian childcare centres and schools. 16 Confidence intervals (CIs) and P values were calculated by the author. Testing was initially restricted to symptomatic persons. In addition, some close contacts may not have been tested. As such, transmission may be underestimated. 16
