Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) Viral Load in the Upper Respiratory Tract of Children and Adults With Early Acute Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19)

Publication date2020
Abstract

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.
