Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate how age affects the risk of transmitting and getting SARS-CoV-2 within households, tracking infected individuals and their contacts for 14 days.
- Results showed that about 49% of household contacts were secondary infections, with no significant differences in transmission risk among different age groups, though younger primary cases (12-17) had a lower transmission risk compared to older cases (18-49).
- The highest transmission risk was observed in older adults (≥65 years) and younger children (5-11 years), indicating that both children and adults can spread SARS-CoV-2, while asymptomatic cases did not vary by age.
