AI Article Synopsis
- The study compared the spread of SARS-CoV-2 within families during two different time periods: January-February 2021 (when the B.1.1.7 variant was common) and April-May 2020 (when other variants were circulating).
- Results showed significantly higher rates of transmission among family members across all age groups, especially in young children, during the January-February 2021 period.
- Additionally, there was a noted decrease in sensory impairment symptoms (like loss of taste or smell) among those infected during the later period.
Article Abstract
The dynamics of intrafamilial spread of SARS-CoV-2 during January-February 2021 when variant B.1.1.7 predominated were compared with data from April to May 2020, when other circulating variants prevailed. Much higher intrafamilial transmission rates among all age groups, in particular in young children, and lower rates of sensory impairment were demonstrated during January-February 2021.
