Current evidence says that children very rarely transmit to adults:
"Almost 6 months into the pandemic, accumulating evidence and collective
experience argue that children, particularly school-aged children, are far less
important drivers of SARS-CoV-2 transmission than adults. Therefore, serious
consideration should be paid toward strategies that allow schools to remain
open, even during periods of COVID-19 spread. In doing so, we could minimize the
potentially profound adverse social, developmental, and health costs that our
children will continue to suffer until an effective treatment or vaccine can be
developed and distributed or, failing that, until we reach herd immunity."
