Article Synopsis
- A study in Atlanta investigated household COVID-19 infection rates and the role of children in the transmission dynamics of SARS-CoV-2 during early 2021.
- Researchers tested saliva samples from 66 individuals across 17 households that had at least one child and a COVID-19 case within the prior months, finding an average secondary infection rate (SIR) of 0.58.
- The results showed similar infection rates among children (62%) and adults (75%), and households with higher SIR also reported more symptomatic cases, indicating the need for continued focus on household transmission strategies.
