To understand the transmission characteristics and risk factors of household COVID-19 clusters caused by 2019-nCoV Omicron variant in Tianjin and provide evidence for COVID-19 prevention and control. Field epidemiological method was used to investigate the epidemiological characteristics of COVID-19 cases, and descriptive analysis was used to describe the epidemiological information. A total of 430 cases were reported in this epidemic in Tianjin, in which 409 cases were included in this study. Among these cases, 70.90% (290/409) occurred in families. The family secondary attack rate was 33.64% The family secondary attack rate in age group 12-17 years (13.79%) was significantly lower than that in age group 18-49 years (36.48%), the was 0.378 (95%: 0.170-0.840). The logistic regression analysis showed that compared with centralized quarantine, the of the index cases found in closed-off/controlled areas and in home quarantine were 2.951 (95%:1.322-6.586) and 2.287 (95%:1.164-4.495), respectively, compared with the cases without sore throat, the of the index cases with sore throat was 3.003 (95%: 1.576-5.720), and compared with cases in families without completed COVID-19 vaccinations in all members, the of the cases in families with completed COVID-19 vaccinations in all members was 0.268 (95%: 0.132-0.552). The risk of household transmission of infection with Omicron variant was high. Detecting the index case in closed-off/controlled areas or in home quarantine and sore throat in index cases were the risk factors of the household transmission, completed COVID-19 vaccination was the protective factor.
