| Description: |
The factors that contribute to transmission of SARS-CoV-2 by children are unclear. We analysed viral load at the time of diagnosis in 53 children and 352 adults with COVID-19 in the first 5 days post symptom onset. No significant differences in SARS-CoV-2 RNA loads were seen between children and adults. |
