Abstract The objective of the study is to establish a conclusion about the effectiveness of school closure during pandemic outbreaks through the analysis of various global data and formulating a conclusion based on the transmission of previous respiratory global outbreaks like COVID-19 in a school setting. The study also aims to offer possible refinement in future public health responses that focus on minimizing negative impacts on students from a psychological and academic perspective while also maintaining the community’s physical health in mind.
